Travels with Twain!
in 1867 Mark Twain traveled by ship, with a motely group of Americans, around Europe and the Middle East. His impressions of the months-long journey to famous and historic places first appeared in newspaper columns, and were immortalized in his travelogue, Innocents Abroad - one of the best-selling travel books of all time.
We'll travel along with Twain and his companions, making some of the same stops they did and drinking the local wine.
