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.

Pacific Ocean, Kelly In Cabin Showing Breast, 1982 - I traveled across the Pacific Ocean with Boysie Day, his wife Connie, Brad and Kelly. She was the cook. Kelly told me later that Connie had warned her not to lean over into the freezer, exposing her back side. Connie's meaning was that Kelly should take caution not to sexually attract the men.

Indonesia, Bali, Young Dancer, 2005 - The costumes of the Balinese dancers are stunning. The dancers are often quite young, as in this example. They look much older during the performance, for some reason.
Tanzania, Horombo Huts on Mt. K, 1984 - On our second day of hiking from the trailhead, we reached Horombo Huts, where we spent the night. In the background is the snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa.
