On this trip of a lifetime, I saw and did many things.

It all started with my internet contacts with a group of strangers and this contact is  alive and well.

After I came home I continued to explore things that I saw and did and that I did not fully understand. I have sought answers to questions that came up in my heart. I relive the trip over and over.

Before I began this trip, I made the decision to try always to be open.
I was rewarded ten fold.
I learned that people are alike from all parts of the world and from many diverse backgrounds.
We share common values and concerns.

As I traveled within the United States, I also traveled inside myself.

As I discoverred that even an older person, alone, with a cane could plan and accomplish such a journey I came to believe that anything is possible.
