Interesting read though I think he focuses a little too much on the hardship of his travels and not enough on the joys of his journey. Or maybe his travels were not that pleasurable -- that is the impression I got anyway. Also unfortunately, the pictures do not have captions (where are those two fellows on their small donkeys?) and it seems the digital scan of the 35mm could have been a little higher quality. Lastly, if interested in a good read on a similar subject checkout "L'Usage du monde" (The Way of the World" in English) by Nicolas Bouvier. He covers similar territory but expressing more of the delights of wanderlust (as well as the hardships).
