Old Men Can't Wait

This epic exploration of thirteen countries takes Gandolfi across deserts and over mountains, through the Amazon forest and the length of the Appalachians. Gauchos, oil workers, peasant farmers, officials, owners of vast haciendas, Venezuelan revolutionaries, students at Texas A&M - all excite his curiosity and he faithfully records their opinions while submitting his own thoughts, beliefs, and fears to an often merciless inspection. Outrageously irresponsible and undeniably liberating, Gandolfi's travels will fire the imaginations of every traveler, young or old.
