Ethan's Writing - Education BikeAbout–the Mediterranean
Ethan spent 271 days in most of the countries on the shores of the Mediterranean, from September 25, 1997, to June 30, 1998, as part of BikeAbout–the Mediterranean, an educational Internet adventure – the first "wired" circumnavigation of the Mediterranean Sea by bicycle – that promoted peace and cooperative understanding through cycling, travel and the improved use of technology in learning.
To read the 150-plus educational reports written for and read by thousands upon thousands of students from around the world, and all about the countries visited and cultures encountered, visit the BikeAbout–the Mediterranean website. Ethan final-edited all of the travel dispatches from this destination, but wrote those linked to from this page.
