Day 1: Theme for the Trip

Dear Reader,

Mike, Dickie, and I have been planning a 10-day trip to Uruguay and Argentina for some time. We left from New York today and will be venturing til December 13. 

In the weeks leading up to the trip, we spent a lot of time thinking about how we could make the trip as sweet as possible. Dickie insisted that the best way to maximize adventure is to ditch luxury for filth. He told me Mike's ideas (staying at nice hotels like airbnb) were fine for vacations, but not for adventures. 



Further, because adventures are born from an open mind, we need to cast aside inhibition and rationality, and instead embrace a nutty mentality in order to maximize adventure. 



"Nuts to the bones" (read: nutty to the core) and filth will be our two themes for this trip. Instead of planning exactly where/what we'll be doing, we will go with the flow so long as that flow is chock full of filth and nuts. 

Any doubt I had about whether Dickie was actually serious about these themes disappeared when he started the trip by doing basically the nuttiest thing you could do as we were boarding our flight:



So Dickie, well he ain't coming anymore.

Stay tuned, dear reader, to see what kind of nutty, filthy adventures Mike and I get into, as Dickie tries to hitch another ride to South America after missing his flight. We hope to go surfing, ride a horse, eat good steak, and go on our first non-SDT wine tour (more Tapfar, more fun), though who knows where the filth will take us! First stop -- Montevideo.

Biggest Nut Award: Dickie. Not even close.
