Jose Before and Jose After
The writing in this blog relates to an endeavor, a challenge, a dream, of four adventurers from MIT who thought buying an airplane ticket would be cheating. So they decided to drive their way down from Boston, USA to Guayaquil, Ecuador in a Volkswagen Golf.

Niños Bonitos
I awoke this morning to a very disturbing sound. A sound I hadn't heard in quite some while. It was the sound of a razor being dragged across someones face. As some of you may have noticed in the pictures we were beginning to look a little rustic. That is because we had made a pact to not shave. Lo and behold while everyone else was sleeping Jose seized the opportunity to break the pact and shave. In his defense he was simply cleaning up his beard and didn't shave it all off right away. Greg ridiculed him with accusations or being a part of a female anatomy and that he had to shave because he is whipped and his wife told him to. Then Greg practiced the ultimate hyprocrisy and shaved his entire beard off. Jose then leaped on this opportunity to shave his entire face. So they are both now cleany shaven. In hindsight I should we should have made some sort of bet to see who could hold out the longest, but I figured a friendly pact would suffice since I assumed they were both honorable individuals. I was wrong. To make it even worse they both looked reasonably presentable whereas anyone who has seen me during Mustache March knows I can't grow facial hair to save my life. I'm happy to report that I am still sporting the scruff and although I may look ridiculous when I look at myself in the mirror, at least I can look at myself in the mirror knowing that I have a shred of honor left and a few shreds of hair on my chin.

Nice entry, Todd. I give it a 10 for entertainment value. I love the last sentence too!
The only guy who doesn't shave is nicknamed Razor? I said it once before but it bears repeating: Boston is for pussies.
A real man keeps his word!
T-Bone: Here's a challenge! $150 bucks if you dye the "beard" portion of your face black and keep the "mustache" portion blonde and take a picture wearing a yellow bandana and flexing...or a picture of you wearing a lucha-libre mask and drinking something with an umbrella through a straw AKA the return of the mummy.
These pics give new meaning to the idea of a "pretty boy" :) Very cute. And the beach/pool pics you've added are sweet, but Jose, where's the beached whale?? You know how happy that makes us all - I don't want any more pool pics of Jose without a beached whale pic in them (or better yet a video)...
This seems to happen to the ruddicks a lot. I have made numerous pacts to grow facial hair, especially for weddings (it is the coolest when people look back at wedding pictures and say "Why the fuck does Jared have a little italian boy mustache.") and everyone always caves at the last minute. Here is some brotherly advice Todd, follow the link I provided and then go purchase some jet glue. That will teach those vaginas!
