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.

Liberia, House In Monrovia, 2003 - At the airport in Liberia, a woman offered to give us a ride, but it turned out it was only part way. When we changed trucks, we were approached by a soldier with red eyes, a mean attitude and a gun. In order to get a tour of Monrovia, I arranged with a person holding himself out to be able to give me permission to take photographs. This scene was typical of the city, run down, but somehow picturesque.
