 I rode a camel along the trans-Saharan trade routes and eventually made my way to Carthage where I took to the sea for the first time in centuries. I felt the desert sands blow off of me in the Mediterranean breeze. I arrived in Constantinople and was mightily impressed with what I saw. How it had grown! But the Romans I remembered were long gone. Such arguments about seemingly the smallest things in Christianity I had never heard.

 The world opened up for me on that trip. I had never gone further east than the Levant before, and here I was passing through Persia, the astoundingly flat plains of Central Asia, and on to Khanbaliq in Cathay, what we would call Beijing today. So many different peoples, so many customs. The smells of foreign foods, the sights of foreign buildings and people. I resided among the Italian community in the city of Yangzhou while Marco was appointed governor of the place by Kublai Khan. For the first time in centuries, I felt truly alive... The world opened up for me on that trip.
