This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom has led me to over 2600 of the world’s 3978 provinces, to every country on earth and to the summit of the highest peak on each continent (thank heaven for good weather!). In my travels, I learned to respect the intelligence and ingenuity of people of all races and callings both past and present. Come see the world as I see it: as a peaceful place, full of nature and beauty. With the right spirit and intent, we can make our world a virtual Garden of Eden.

Egypt, Hieroglyphics, 1984 - If one was to talk about the great temples and ancient sites in the world, Egypt rightfully would have to be mentioned at the top, and there is no place perhaps more fantastic than Luxor and the Valley of the Kings in the south. These hieroglyphics are found in Luxor.
