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.

Peru, Inti Raymi At Sacsayhuaman, 1979 - The stone work at Sacsuaman is amongst the most incredible I have seen. As visible in this photograph, enormous stones are fitted one on top of the other. What is not visible here is that, even though the stones are sometimes on the order of 3 meters across, you cannot fit a quarter in between some of them, so fine is the workmanship! This is incredible considering it was made centuries ago. This vintage photograph was taken with a Kodak Instamatic on my second international trip, a six month journey overland across Central and South America.
