True North: A captivating 85-Day epic solo journey to all of South America & Easter Island & The Antarctic, leaving no bucket list location or global power vortex spot behind. Nearly everything that is a "must see" in South America is described in this adventure, from Easter Island, to Machu Picchu, The Sacred Valley of The Incas, the notorious "Road of Death" in Bolivia, Tiwanaku, the beaches of Ecuador, Ollantaytambo, the Floating Islands of the Uros Indians on Lake Titicaca, Iguazu Falls, Angel Falls, Carnival in Rio, many Unesco World Heritage sites such as Cartagena and Cuzco, most major cities on the continent, and a few Caribbean island retreats on the way out. This is NOT a travel guide. This is Travel drama at its best, with a surprising blend of personal revelation and transformation layered in with always insightful observations as a result of colorful, unexpected, sometimes difficult but very well-written adventures on the road. The reader of "True North" will get a broad introduction to top South American travel spots, experience startling moments of recognition, and enjoy frequent moments of delight and discovery.

About The Author Lawrence A. ("Larry") Cenotto V is a Seattle area world traveler, with visits to over 50 countries. He is a former All-American Quarterback. Also a sales rep, Civil War buff, history junkie, freelance writer, raconteur, plus wine and seafood aficionado. This particularly applies to paella. Chilean sea bass in turn trumps the paella. In his free time the author plays goalie for an island recreational soccer team, samples red wine ("quality control" tester), attends movie screenings and theatre offerings religiously, and golfs badly. He is also a color commentator for local high school sports on TV. He has authored a screenplay entitled "Gettysburg" and invented a mountain climbing board game called "Conquer Everest!" When not writing or quaffing fermented grapes he spends much of his waking hours reading "how to" books, personal improvement narratives, leadership biographies, and history. "True North" is his first full-length book. Though our writer claims he originally penned "Great Expectations" and lost it to Charles Dickens in a past-life card shark "double or nothing" shakedown. Then "The Sun Also Rises" to Hemingway in a drinking duel. The author can be reached at: cenottothe5th@yahoo.com.
