Spring break wasn't much of a spring break; I was sick with the flu. Bed rest was prescribed. Fortunately, that did not preclude my usual spring break fare, reading.
Off I went to South America. I set off with contemporary Mark Adams as he attempted to retrace the steps of explorer Hiram Bingham III as he searched for lost treasures. He didn't find exactly what he was seeking, but in the process he found one of the most famous archeological sites in the world, Machu Picchu.
Well told, with alternating stories of past and present, stories filled with action and danger.
An interesting travelogue, though sometimes the narrative wanders a little. The author's humor definitely livened things up, and of course the sites he's visiting sound amazing!
