World Enough: Travel Memoirs Charles Stickney

Boating down Nepali rivers, tracking rhinos on foot and on elephant-back, seeing the Buddha light at dawn in Perus Macchu Picchu and from a sacred mountain peak in China, smoking opium in Thailands Golden Triangle, worshipping in the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa just after Tibet was opened to Westerners, and having a pistol pulled on him in Kabul just before Afghanistan and Iran were closed to Westerners by revolutions and wars. By camel in Rajahstan and Morocco, by elephant in Thailand and Nepal, by bike in Sri Lanka, paddleboat in Kashmir, yacht in Panama, motorcycle in Japan, jammed minivan in Java, rickshaw in Jaipur, by thumb in the US, horse in Mexico, water buffalo in India, and on foot everywhere and often, Dr. Stickney invites you along on his travelscountry by country, many of them several times over the years.
