Brazil Snapshot #17

This is photo #17 (of 50) in a series about our life in Brazil. Drinking water is not free here in Brazil (even in restaurants). So if you want to get re-hydrated you can buy bottled water or nature’s better option: coconut water. For about a dollar the seller will take a coconut out of his cooler, hack off the top with a machete, and stick in a straw.

Coconut Water

  1. Can you install water filters in your home so that you can drink the water? This would be cheaper than buying bottled water all the time, wouldn’t it? Although I love coconut water, there isn’t a whole lot in once coconut, is there? You’d have to drink a whole lot of them to keep properly hydrated.

  2. Wow, coconut water–I can buy that from my food co-op. Probably costs less where you are. It’s supposed to be very healthful.
