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, Batangas Province, Mount Makiling, 2008, IMG_1662 r1 - This is Mount Makiling in Batangas province in the Philippines. I was in an office building at a meeting. I saw the clouds hanging over it. I excused myself and stood on a planter to get high enough to avoid the obstructions.
