Escape from the BAT CAVE, BELIZE
Terrorism has not kept me bound to home. I have been away traveling these last 5 months and welcome being home for a few weeks before heading off to Colorado. Belize was fantastic as was Minnesota. You can never go home again but I tried for a day at my 40th high school reunion in Cleveland, Ohio. Everyone looked so old!
Please VISIT my new pages: BELIZE, MINNESOTA
"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do, than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream .."
-Mark Twain
THANK YOU ALL FOR VISITING AND RATING MY PAGES!!!!!
TRAVEL IS A DREAM COME TRUE
I picked up a National Geographic Magazine at my uncle's house attracted by the bright colors and exotic places. The Himalayas spoke to me as a teenager and I vowed to travel the world. And so, on these pages are my living dream come true.
Please, enjoy the world through my eyes and words.
