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.

Iran, Esfahan, Women at Mosque, 1984 - When the Shah of Iran was replaced by the Ayatollah Khomeini, Islamic rule came back in force. Prior to the fall of the Shah, women in Iran were modernizing. When I was there, all women were covered in public in the black capes shown here. In this photograph, veiled women pay their respects in a mosque in Esfahan.
