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.

Iran, Qom, Golden Mosque, 1984 - This is the Golden Mosque of Qom, Iran. It is one of the Holiest Shrines of Shi'ite Islam. Ramon Baro and I parked across the street and walked to its entrance. On the way back we could not get to the car as an anti-American demonstration passed between us and the landrover. The demonstrators yelled in Farsi. It sounded to me like they were saying, "Marg bar America!" (I was later told this meant, "Down with America.")
