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.

UK, Northern Ireland, Derry Province, Mural, 2008, IMG_5551CU1 - The Irish tricolor flag flying at half mast in Londonderry is not inadvertent. It is an intentional affirmation of the Irish for their wish to be part of the homeland, not part of the UK. Of course, not all Northern Irishman feel the same way about this subject. What do you think is the right solution?
