Always an Adventure
I love to travel. To
me it is the true learning experience. I have visited
about 38 states of the lower 48, as well as, 39
different countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and South
America. In the Peace Corps I lived for two years in the
small remote village of Chintalipudi in Andra Pradesh
state of south India. As a consequence of that stay I
was able to travel extensively in India, from Kashmir to
Calcutta to Bombay to Madras. I received a Fulbright in
1990 for the Study of Culture and Art of India after a
twenty year absence. The smells and sounds felt like I
had come home. Three years later I received another
Fulbright Grant to study the Culture of Indonesia where
I discovered great similarities to India, as well as,
wonderful differences. The trips back from these places
took me to Nepal, Thailand, China and Japan. In 1998,
because of these travels, I gave a talk at the
International Conference on Society and Culture in
Sydney, Australia. This allowed me to travel to Ularu
(previously known as Ayer's Rock), New Zealand and Fiji.
All of this Asian travel was put to use in my History of
the Art of Asia that I taught each Fall quarter in the
evening.
One of my other
hobbies was leading tour groups with my friend and
French scholar, Scott "Serge" Bernhard. On our joint
trips we have visited many picturesque villages in
mostly southern France. France is a very special place
to me since it has such fine appreciation of art. It has
fabulous museums and nice places to sit with a glass of
wine and watch the world go by. It's the only country
that I know that had put a picture of an artist on its
money instead of a politician. It's too bad that they
had to adopt the euro. Although we have closed our tour
business after our tour in 2012 you will find my France
watercolors among my other art techniques pages. France sketches and photos
In the Fall of
2001 Cheryl, Kristen (our 18 year old daughter) and I
took an unbelievable voyage around the world. I have
put together a series of pages that link the photos
and watercolors as the voyage progressed. Some of the
new countries on my list include new photos from
Japan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore, India,
Seychelles, South Africa, Brazil, Paraguay and Cuba
have been included. Individual photos are linked
below.

By the way, I don't count
airports as a visit.
(which would include -
Iceland, Finland, Kuwait, Pakistan, Portugal,
Panama, etc.)

linked to my photos and travel sketches as time
allows. |
