This would indeed sound hilarious. I was also expecting to discover that they would be facing much more ferocious creatures.LeDiplomatique wrote: ↑02 Jan 2020, 01:28 I enjoyed most the Harpers Pass Trail expedition.

- Latest Review: My ABC "Chair" Book by Barbara H. Hartsfield
The fourteenth Man Mission I enjoyed for a couple of reasons. First, because it happened in my part of the world. (I live a few hundred kilometers north of the Peruvian border.) I got a kick out of Eytan's view of the Andes as being "exotic" and the most remote place they'd ever gone, as well as sympathizing with the adjustment it takes to be at high altitudes.
But more than that, I liked the character growth revealed in internal his musings. He was coming out of a dark passage in life. He was ruminating on the meaning of life and his role in it. He was healing and coming to a place of acceptance. This may not be the answer you're looking for, but as the book intrinsically links the increasing Man Missions to the life lessons learned along the way, I think it is not amiss to give this as a reason why I particularly liked this mission.
(I also liked how the pink bracelet was a recurrent theme throughout. LOL)

The one I'd like to do was when they went cycling at Japan. I'd like to experience going through the local neighborhood where there weren't a lot of tourists and just mingle with the locals.

I was planning on reading the book later but your incident has made me more curious to read the book early.
