What a trip. If you can't go in person, this is the next best thing.
Mr. Theroux traveled along the meditteranean in the early 90's, very interesting to see the contrast of some of the countries between now and then. He does a wonderful job of creating an impression of each place, as if I'd traveled there myself. Great read.
