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.

China, near Shanghai, Old Chinese Woman, 1996 - On my way back to Shanghai from a short trip southwest, we went through an area with clusters of houses surrounded by fields. The houses had this whitewashed appearance and were somewhat picturesque. I stopped to take a photo. This old woman appeared at the doorway. She wears pants with patches at the knees.
