This may be the greatest travel book ever written. Not only is it the reason I carry a moleskine with me everywhere, but it is also an amazing study in history, hospitality, and humanity. A more epic book has likely never been written.
So much of this book I wish that I could remember; to wit, “used as a verb yamana means ‘to live, breathe, be happy, recover from sickness or be sane’”
It took me a fairly long time to finish this mostly because I wanted it to last.
