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.

San Blas, San Blas Woman, 2000 - San Blas is one of the more interesting places in the Caribbean. The Cuna Indian women dress colorfully, including wearing gold rings through their noses and enormous gold earrings. The San Blas Islands are just off the coast of Panama, accessible by small aircraft from Panama City. I conjectured that in ancient times before missionaries, the women painted the mole design on their naked bodies.
