I recently had the pleasure of being in the Naval Museum in Cartagena. When the tour guide got to the section of the museum featuring Vernon's attempted takeover of the city, I was ecstatic. I was like, "I know about this! George Washington's brother fought in that battle!" Thanks to Mike I can be THAT guy on history tours now lol.

I'm a big fan of the History of Rome podcast and the occasional narratives into Palmyra were always some of the most fascinating. Sad to see what has happened there.
