A Reluctant Traveler in the Adriatic
In April 2009, Zegrahm Expeditions and MIT Alumni Travel Program joined forces to create an unforgettable travel experience. A group of intrepid travelers set sail from Malta to explore the Balkan countries rimming the Adriatic Sea.
Samuel Jay Keyser, professor emeritus in MIT’s Department of Linguistics and Philosophy, kept a journal detailing the history and magnificent sites we encountered at each port of call. We invite you to read Mulling the Balkans from Malta to Venice and enjoy the photographs taken by Nancy Kelly at this link: Mulling the Balkans from Malta to Venice
Samuel Jay Keyser also maintains an interesting blog with notes on his explorations in Bhutan, Rome, Las Vegas, Easter Island, Uganda, and then some. And although Jay travels more in a year than most people do in a lifetime, he hates to travel and his blog is aptly named The Reluctant Traveler.
Jay has published extensively in the field of theoretical linguistics and is editor-in-chief of Linguistic Inquiry, a journal he founded 37 years ago. He has also published two books of poems, Raising the Dead and The Pond God and Other Stories, which received a Lee Bennett Hopkins Honor Award for children’s poetry for 2003. Excerpts from his “A Safari Journal: Faint of Heart in the Heart of Darkness” appeared in the May 2000 issue of the Atlantic Monthly.
