ountless philosophers remind us that it’s not the destination but the journey that matters. Richard, Edgar and Paulo, three Brazilian expats, made it to London in time for the Olympic Games, but what captivated us was the two months they spent traveling through Asia and Europe by car, bus, taxi, cart, tractor and a rented van. With just a red soccer ball and the Beijing Olympic torch, the trio of travelers gave us a glimpse of 26 countries, from mosques in Turkmenistan to the sun-kissed Mediterranean.
