History blog of the week Marco Polo

Marco Polo traveled the Silk Road to china long ago. The reason Italy has so much pasta is because of him. So when you are eating your spagetti thank Marco Polo. His father left to go to china before he was born so he did not see his dad for 15 years! talk about separation. Then once his father came back he took Marco Polo with him. Poor Marco Polo's mom. 25 years later Marco Polo and his dad returned with spices jewels and much more.
