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.

Congo Zaire, Goma, Zairoise, 1987 - I went into a bar in the sleepy town of Goma, long before the ethnic cleansing took place over a decade later. The Africans had a natural affinity for dancing. I was invited to join in, but, shy, I remained seated. I expressed interest in this young woman. Her hair is in the style popular at the time. I theorized that the spiky hair-do of the Zairoise, or women of Zaire, was not just a fad, but a tradition for centuries. I still do not know if was right.
