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.

India, Oxen And Camel Working Water Well, 1984 - I walked from Jaipur, capital of Rajasthan, across the Indian countryside to the Taj Mahal in Agra. I saw many new and interesting sites. Here, farmers use teams of oxen and a camel to turn the water wheels. Some villages had pumps, but the endless, deafening racket created by their engines destroyed the otherwise serene atmosphere.
India, Jaipur, 1984 - Judith Pollack accompanied me on my walk to Agra. We stayed at a former Maharaja's residence, high above the city, for $10 a night. This photograph is taken overlooking the Jaipur environs.

Haiti, Les Cayes Province, River Beauty, IMG_5198 - In the village river, the people play in the rapids, using inner tubes, dunking each other or jumping from the overhanging tree. The sun bears down. A market place hugs the wide bank of the river. The people are friendly. I walked down to the river side and jumped in!
