Bring along plenty to drink. Invest in a good insulated, unbreakable pitcher with a secure lid. Try this recipe for Cranberry Ginger Iced Tea or buy some sangria from your local Mexican restaurant or tapas bar. Herbal teas (Remember Celestial Seasonings? They still make the best iced teas!) are a refreshing non-alcoholic addition.
