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.

Nepal, Festival of Holi, Girls Block Bus, 1984 - During the Festival of Holi, or Festival of Colors, in India/Nepal, children can even stop commercial buses such as this one. It is all part of the fun and games. Youngsters march in gangs with color bombs. Victims beware! It is all good fun.
