We are delighted to share our adventures with you as we explore the world...

 

new1c.gif (1483 bytes)Truly the trip of a lifetime -- we traveled around Cape Horn and on to Antarctica with stops in Chile and Argentina on our "Trip to the End of the Earth."

 

France's Seine with several days in Paris, was a trip that we had put off for many years and now we wonder why.

Temple bell.jpg (12208 bytes)Japan and Beyond: Letters Home, our book on the web, evolved from the year we lived in Japan and traveled in Vietnam, China, Thailand, Seoul, Australia, Okinawa, and Hong Kong.

 

canal_button.JPG (2486 bytes)Going through the Panama Canal was awesome. Our plane ride was frightening and conditions aboard our ship were awful, but the experience gave us lots of "retell" value!

 

Copy of Budapest button.jpg (3171 bytes)In Eastern Europe we cruised the Danube and visited Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Hungary. It was an eye-opening trip.


 

Thai lotus.jpg (9590 bytes)Ponds have been a labor of love. We enjoy the serenity and beauty of  our ponds through the seasons and try to capture that in pictures. We invite you to check out our new Zelienople pond.

 

boy button.jpg (7262 bytes)We like to interact with children in our travels. We have been delighted to meet children of Vietnam and Japan, Turkey, Russia and others from around the world. In the innocence of children we see hope for the future.


 


"It is not true that East is East and West is West.
I am convinced that human nature is much the same no matter what the clime flourishes.
People must be approached with trust and affection and you will always be repaid 1000 fold."
