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.

Congo Zaire, Riverboat Sunset, 1984 - In 1984, my girlfriend at the time, Gabrielle, and I traveled from Kisangani (formerly Stanleyville) to Kinshasa on the Zaire (Congo) River. The steamboat was a lively place. As we passed from port to port, awaiting barges tied themselves on to the main boat, creating an increasingly large convoy as we neared the capital. I called it the Moving Zoo. People danced on the roofs, there was a market, fights broke out, etc. This photograph was taken from the steamboat railing during a beautiful sunset.
