THE JOURNALS

Pages from the road

The long-form stuff. Each entry is a chapter — newest first.

Motorcycle taxis, a cartel guy in a gondola, and the fear that turns into a drug.

A sub-24-hour layover that became a bonus country — the best flight of my life, then a city that parties and power-washes the evidence by dawn.

Croquetas, a rum-and-Coke robbery, and watching Nadal move the earth in Madrid.

Killer hills, the custard tart that ruined me, and an island in the freezing Atlantic.

Three guys, a bottle of tequila we never ordered, and the ruins that made it more than a beach trip.
