In exactly three weeks, the day after I get married, my wife and I will be embarking on the adventure of a lifetime. For three weeks the two of us will be traveling from Ireland to Greece. Along the way we will be stopping to take in the sights, sounds, and occasionally even the tastes, that have inspired some of the greatest literature ever written. Please join us on this blog every few days as we investigate the lives of Frank McCourt, William Shakespeare, Ernest Hemingway, and Homer.
