Food note


Here's a delicious snack or dessert—fresh papaya with lime juice. The drink beside it is characteristically Brazilian, a soft drink called guaraná, made from an Amazonian fruit. It's a little on the sweet side, but very refreshing. Actually, now that I find the Guaraná home page (there had to be one, didn't there?), I see that the berry has more caffeine than coffee beans do. I've been drinking more caffeinated coffee here than usual (decaff is impossible to find), and though I've had only one or two of these guaraná drinks, I see I'll have to be careful about it because I routinely have difficulty sleeping and don't need to make things worse.
