The Best American Travel Writing 2000 by Bill Bryson, Jason Wilson
4.0
“We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we find is an honest friend. He is a fortunate voyager who finds many.” This book made me want to read Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes by Robert Louis Stevenson. This quote made me appreciate the honest friends I've found in my travels, books and people.
Anthologies are funny things; some stories are terrific, others not so much. This anthology is like a snapshot in time, almost 20 years ago. Most of the pieces are written by white men, the people who wrote about the Arctic didn't know about climate change, the people traveling didn't experience post-9/11 security theater.
