The MATE experience

He has the whole set at home). Actually, in that trip to Ottawa that I posted here, he sebo mate -the action of making mate- to Andrew, the russian mobster, and me in the car. I should have taken some pics of that!

And last... Spencer... he survived

Awww... now I want someone to drink mate with. I don't drink it alone, its more fun to be in a group of people having mate... everyone drinks from the same bombilla -straw- ... and we all share our saliva... and... and...
