Excerpts from the book:
Nicaragua's Volcán San Cristóbal
"Few places offer the opportunity to summit a country’s highest peak in one day. Volcán San Cristóbal offered such a rare opportunity. From its peak, the Pacific Ocean, sugar cane crops and peanut fields looked minuscule below. Not only can you reach its apex, but it is humbling to set foot atop one of the more active volcanoes in the region. The pain and the pleasure remain etched in my memory."
Rwanda's Mountain Gorillas in Volcanoes National Park
"In an instant, the male tipped over onto his shoulders and leapt with impressive speed. His right arm brushed the jacket sleeve of one of our group members. Everyone was stunned for a few seconds before we broke into a nervous chuckle as we absorbed how close we had come to this massive primate. He meant no harm, but his enormous power was indisputable."
