This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom has led me to over 2450 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.

This place is also known as the City of Screams. The plaque reads "The citadel on this hill site was the heart of the Islamic city of Bamyan following the decline of Buddhism here from the 8th century AD. Share-e-Gholghola is believed to have been destroyed by the Mongols under Genghis Khan, who invaded in 1221 and massacred all the inhabitants. The site's name is said to date from this massacre." I went there in the late afternoon in February in the bitter cold.
