Travel -
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, 38
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 is put to use in my History of
the Art of Asia that I teach each Fall quarter in the
evening.
One of my other
hobbies is leading tour groups with my friend, 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 puts
a picture of an artist on its money instead of a
politician. It's too bad that they had to adopt the
euro. Serge and I find most necessary to go back as
often as possible to try out one more fabulous dish and
find that unbelievably good wine. I usually teach
sketching and watercolor along the way. You will find
among watercolors among the 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.

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