He wrote several books about travelling to various places. Oddly enough, the first place he planned on travelling to, South America, he never made it to in his lifetime.

As kids we often do not "get" what the author is trying to say or i would come upon a setence or remark and think that it was supposed to mean something more but it was "over my head". That is what Twain is to me.
