Jugo de naranja

This is one of my favorite day-to-day things in Guatemala - drink bags! Often, if you buy a coke from a street vendor it someone in a small tienda (store), they will pour it into a plastic bag and hand it to you with a straw. This is because the cans and bottles can be turned back in for a deposit.

This is also how juices from street vendors are distributed. Generally you will see a lady on the street with a little table, a huge juicer, and a big bag of oranges. She makes juice and when you want some, she measures it out in a tall cup then pours it into a plastic bag. She then sticks a straw in it and hands it to you to hold on tight. I took a sip of Holland's and it was delicious. Here's hoping all that acidity killed any amoebas!
