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.

St. Kitts, Bobby Daley, 2000 - While circling the beautiful island of St. Kitts in the Caribbean, we met an old Rastafarian. I wrote, "Continuing on to the north, we attempted to get close to the mountain on a track. There we met Bobby Daley, a chattery old Rasta with white and blonde dreadlocks. The was one of the most amiable people I ever met. We shook hands, and I felt his warmth. He didn't want me to take a photo, because he said he couldn't see it. But I said he could see it in my video, so I shot a digital video."
