Piludong in Anyue.
It is the summer of 2007, in the late afternoon, and I am exhausted.
But I have been plugging along behind Phyllis and Koichi all day
because I know they will invariably lead me to something interesting
and important, as they did here, in a magical sunlit
cave on a cliff in Sichuan.
This picture, and where I stand, encapsulates my many
years of friendship with this pair of adventurers, and my admiration
for their achievements.”
