Spartans! Prepare for GLORY!!!

Inspired by the fantastic movie 300, I read Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield, a more historically accurate account of the battle of Thermopylae. Great book. Really got me more interested in visiting Greece than ever before. Historical context has a way of doing that. I almost could have checked this goal off last summer when the ship I was on stopped by Crete. Alas, we did not have a port stop there, we just exchanged security personnel via helicopter, so all I could do was look from a distance.
