I do have a beard. It’s tradition for men not to shave during our Latin American trips. So I grew one while in El Salvador. I’ve let it grow up for 2 weeks now. It’s got a red tinge to it. I’ll probably shave it once I go up to Kentucky tomorrow. Friends up there haven’t seen it and I’m interested in their reaction to it. My sis hates it. Many people hate it. The perverbial answer I give when I am asked why I’m doing this…. Because I can.
Personally I think my beard was much more noticeable compared to others in the group (minus our bearded ladies…those sideshow showoffs). I’d never had a beard before, whereas the rest of our crew either couldn’t grow a noticeable beard….or they already had one to begin with.
The beard is nice, but I think its not me. Besides, there are plenty of bare spots which should have grown over by now. It isn’t even that thick.
