This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom has led me to over 2450 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.

Kenya, Narok Sunset, 1987 - I invited my father to come with me on my second visit to Africa. (Of course, he paid for the lion's share of things!) He made a rule that I agreed to. That was, we should try to arrive in places before dark. On our first night out on the way to Narok, I stopped and took this photograph with my Rolleicord, a camera he had given to me. Of course, we arrived in Narok in the dark. He did not approve. Over a week later, we were going from Nairobi to Arusha in Tanzania. We were delayed at the border and continued on in the dark in a taxi, seeing a giraffe along the way. I turned around to see him laying in the back seat, propped up against the door, smoking a cigarette. He was enjoying himself. I thought, "Now he's starting to get the hang of it."
