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.

PH, Kalinga Province, Tombiangan Pasil Road With Arch At Night, 2008, IMG_2183 - To the left of the car there is a hole in the wall, which marked the road. I stood back in the dark to take this photo. I heard breathing. I stopped and listened again. I heard it again. I ran! Animal or man, I wanted no part of it. I was told the anti-government forces inhabited these mountains - although I was told they were friendly to the ordinary citizen.
Gambia, Stone Circles, 2003 - The Stone Circles are in eastern Gambia. To my surprise, there are apparently many areas in the vicinity with similar monoliths, reminiscent of Stonehenge. There are more permanent ancient permanent sites in Africa than just the Great Zimbabwe Monument!
