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.

Italy, Pisa Moon, 1989 - On a return trip from Africa in 1989, I drove from Sicily to Holland. On the way, I stopped by Pisa, Italy for the first time. I rushed to get there before nightfall, but was unsuccessful. Nevertheless, a moon rose, presenting me with an opportunity for an unusual photograph of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
