He has that perfect tone for a travel writer, Tony Horwitz has a similar voice - curious, inquiring, non, or only mildly, judgemental, slightly bewildered and moderately humorous, a little deadpan even. It was so poignant at the end when they at last reached the limits of the vast continent and were looking out at the Pacific, toward America, on 9/11/01.
