My Journals

As I traveled I tried to pass along, through emails to home, what I learned and had seen on my trips.  They evolved into what my friends called "mini-novels" or "journals".  I never professed to being a writer,  but  people seemed to enjoy them. 

I am missing a few, but most were saved and I have published them here.  I began to feel rather presumptuous just sending them  to everyone.  If you want to read more, please come back.  As I continue to write home and ramble on, I will post them here.

To save download time, instead of putting photos in the documents, I have put the corresponding photos in the Photo Gallery .  Please browse the photo gallery when you get a chance.

Note:  I find it interesting, looking back at my first letters, how naive I was about many things here.  Some things that I found astonishing are now a routine part of my daily life.  Other things that may have seemed quaint are downright aggravating when living here . Although some of my views now may have changed, I have left the earlier letters unedited.

 Updated!   I Have now added my Adventure Diaries from my posts to the GT-Rider Website.  Includes many reports and photos. Check it out!
