I only read Rebecca Barry's "The Happiest Man in Cuba" because I love Love LOVED her memoir Recipes for a Beautiful Life. Wonderful essay!
Great read before falling asleep to the sound of a train going through my small town.

A nice collection of all kinds of travel bits from a solo kayak expedition up a river in Africa to trip on Route 66 to a trip to visit the issuers of America's credit cards in Delaware. Given that the collection is now more than a dozen years old, I found it interesting how much of it seemed topical. I was particularly interested in the discussion of the effects of pollution in many areas and other ecological issues, including California's accidental desert lake the Salton Sea and the disappearance of the Aral Sea under the Soviets and the succeeding governments in the region.

A fantastic and eclectic mix of travel tales from partying in Paris with P. Diddy to kayaking to Timbuktu in the wilds of Africa, these stories touch the core of why we travel. A great read for travelers and those who dream of travel alike.
