No trip with Amalio can be light on existential moments; those that stick in the mind, or stop time. Whether he is mining the ore of rich humor buried beneath the surface of mundane events, or deliberately choosing the path never otherwise taken by rational creatures, Amalio is always full of surprises. This trip was no exception. Stories were told. Truths revealed. Philosophies rendered. Birds identified by flashlight. Celestial bodies appreciated. Stamina tested. Blood was shed. All in all a wonderful time.
