Today I leave on a red eye flight to Santiago, Chile with my father and grandmother for a 17 day adventure through South America. Perhaps this will be the Pettus family's finest show of love, unity, and disfunctionion. What a proud presentation this will be!
I feel so prepared and excited to be inspired by Patsy's lack of shame and curiosity, my father's strength and vision, and my own enthusiasm and delight. I am also thrilled that our hotels have full bars. Most of all, I am thankful to be able to experience a world class trip of a lifetime with three generations of my genetic makeup.
I will exist in my childhood dream of living in the world of Eva Peron, utilize nine years of schooling in the Spanish language, smell the streets of Rio, become a lush of Chilean wine in Chile, avoid pilates lessons in Patagonia while wearing Patagonia, be cooled by the falls of Iguazu, perhaps dine on an endangered species. I am ready to simulate these repressed senses.
Let's Ride.
