Sidney and I decided that these exotic lands offered far too many other wonders for us to spend our limited amount of time there huffing and puffing at high altitudes. A sub-title for this program might have been "Adventures in the Himalayas without trekking".less

Taking seven weeks to travel along the Trans-Siberian railroad across Russia is a once in a lifetime trip. We would never have done it but for our project of writing and filming a Geography of the World series for Middle School students. All the World Geography textbooks include a chapter on Russia, so we had no choice. It was our good fortune that MIR Corporation of Seattle took care of land arrangements for us in return for a promotional video. Thanks MIR.less

From China we continued on through Central Asia and then through Transcaucasia to the eastern shore of the Black Sea. It was quite a trip.less

Our route from Senegal through much of Mali - sometimes on fairly good roads and sometimes on unmarked sand tracks. When our vehicle seemed to be stuck on top of a sand dune at midnight near the Maritanian border in western Mali we kept telling ourselves that it would make a good story if we survived. Often the worst travel experiences are the most fun to talk about in retrospect.less
