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.

Turkey, Mt Nemrud, 1984 - One of the most interesting historical sites I have seen is Mount Nemrud in central Turkey. One of the things that made is so fascinating was that it was out of the way, a place I had never heard of. Gigantic heads of Greek gods lay on the ground, fallen from their original position atop the stone bodies to which they belonged.
