This book is a memoir. It reflects our current recollections of our experiences over time and the stories we have heard. Some names and details have been changed, some events have been compressed, and some dialogue has been recreated. We also would like to thank the many people we have met on our travels for being generous enough to share their stories with us. We recognize that their memories of the events described in this book may be different from those of others who experienced them. The tales in this book were represented to us as being factual. Whether entirely true or not, each story conveys meaning about a place, how someone has experienced it, and how we remembered it.
