My Journey So Far
As of March 24, 2006, this is a map of my travels, with my current location in the mountains of northern Greece:
Metsovo is a town of about 3,000 people who figured that working in tourism was preferable to working as shepherds. This region is populated by the descendents of the Romans who guarded the Via Egnatia, portions of which ran through what is now northern Greece, and is the road you would pick up after crossing the Adriatic after the end of the Via Appia. I'm going to continue eastwards on my way to Istanbul via the modern incarnation of the Via Egnatia.
