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.

Tibet, Xegar, View Of Valley From Top Of Hill, 1995 -
Xegar, also known as Tingri, is on the way from Lhasa to Everest's Rongbuk Base Camp. We climbed the hill above Xegar, for the lama said if you could see Everest from there, it was good luck. We were about to head down when the clouds parted and Everest appeared. This photograph shows the valleys and hills below. The monastery that once coveted the ridge up the mountain was destroyed by invading forces.
