It's coming! Each April, the bloggers get out their dictionaries. I've had mine out for a while, and I'm prepared.
I had a ton of fun the last three years writing about the Olympics, Accounting, and the Renaissance. Even though April is always so busy with the taxes and the side gigs and now studying so much... I can't help it. I want to write about letters X, Q, and J.
So tomorrow is the first of April. As it happens I'm traveling, but I'm going to give it a go and try to write those 26 posts. As some of you may now, I'm face-down right now in medieval history and have been studying the Mongol Empire, so naturally that suggests a clear theme. But not the empire!
This year's theme will be:
The Silk Road

(Thanks thought.co for that great graphic).
Most of these will be short little snippets. Lots of towns, lots of medieval trade goods. Not chronological, but if you're interested, you'll pick up a lot of facts and ambience. Can you smell the spices on the desert breezes? Can you hear the wind rustling over the sand and the snort of the camels as they make a ruckus jostling for the well water?
Get ready to journey...
