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.

Niger, Niamey, Clothes Washer On Niger River, 1988 - I ran out of money in Niamey and could not return home till help arrived! So, I spent many days wandering around the dusty streets. I crossed a bridge one morning and looked down to see this man laying out clothes to dry. It was an interesting concept to lay out clothes rather than hang them on a line. In this very hot place, it worked well.
