In 1271, Niccolo and Maffeo Polo set out for Asia again, but this time they brought me young Marco with them. Unable to recruit the 100 priests that Khan had requested, they left with only two, who, after getting a taste of the hard journey ahead of them, soon turned back for home. The Polo's' journey took place on land, and they were forced to cut through challenging and sometimes harsh territory. But through it all, I reveled in the adventure. I later memory for the places and cultures I witnessed was remarkable and exceptionally accurate.
