In the Footsteps of Marco Polo

Watched a terrific PBS documentary called In the Footsteps of Marco Polo last night. Found it fascinating and inspiring.

I was also extremely envious of the two men who followed in Polo's footsteps because I've been dreaming about making a similar journey since I was a little girl. I read a children's book called The Adventures of Marco Polo when I was about 9 years old and became fascinated with the man and his travels. Since then I've read many more books about Marco Polo and his historic globe-spanning journey.

More information about the documentary can be found at the In the Footsteps of Marco Polo website. At the site you can watch the documentary online and learn more about the two men who took this remarkable journey some 700 years after Marco Polo's original trip.
