Expedition Map

























4/25/15
Here is the map of our basic itinerary for our trip, although the city designations are not very accurate
as a depiction of where we will actually be spending our time.  More details will be forthcoming as this blog progresses, so stay tuned for more specific details about our actual itinerary, but suffice it to say these are some fascinating places with extremely rich histories.

This National Geographic Expedition is called: "The Human Journey - Tracing Legendary Peoples and Sacred Places with Spencer Wells".  To become familiar with his work, watch the PBS documentary "The Journey of Man" or the National Geographic documentary "The Human Family Tree".  We watched them multiple times to understand as much as we could, and prepare questions for Dr. Wells.

We depart for the trip on May 7th, and I plan to blog throughout this adventure as much as time (and wifi) allows.  Of course photos (from my new camera, the Ricoh GR, recommended by our trip photography advisor Bob Krist), fun facts (that I learn along the way), and exciting stories (there are always those being made daily) will be shared as much as possible, as well as links to as many things as seem reasonable to offer here on this blog.
