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.

Haiti, The Citadel, 2000 - I had heard that The Citadel in the north of Haiti was worth seeing. So I hopped in a small plane and flew to Cap Haitien. I wrote, "To gain the hill to the Citadel in his broken down car, he reversed up the steep parts. Novi and I tromped up the last 20 minutes and toured the Citadel."
