R&D, drinking yerba mate. I wondered if they put some other interesting organic substances in it, because Darcie looked a little too happy here! I was too busy chatting away when it was my turn with the mate, and one of the cooks joked "What are you doing, singing into a microphone?" That's the common joke they make when someone takes too long with the mate gourd - drinking mate is such a cultural and social thing here that you're supposed to quickly drink your share and pass it on, so that everybody gets some.
