Travels
Travel is
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.
