Hello listeners! In this podcast episode of Way of the Gaucho, we talk all about how nice it is to be drinking mate outdoors during the fall season across the country. David talks about the annual "mateada" in Central Park of New York City, Ryan talks about cooler weather at higher elevation in rural Utah, and Casey talks about mate in the Idaho backcountry. We reminisce over the former joys of having to hear for the kettle to have hot water ready and complain about how we're so coddled with the technology of today. If there's one takeaway from this episode, it's that you should take advantage of yerba mate to disconnect from social media and to socialize for real with real people! Finally, we do go through some FAQ such as "Will yerba mate make you high?" (you may not like the answer) and "How much caffeine is in yerba mate." Enjoy! GRACIAS Y GRACIAS - David, Ryan, and Casey
