Detailed Product Description
Self published, 2017, 1st edition. 592 pp, b/w photos in the text. Thick paperback, 10'' x 7'' x 1.5'' thick. weighs 3 lbs. A lmost New condition. Memoirs of a man who found adventure on land, sea and air. �Where are you from?� That oft-asked question is hard for me to answer. I don�t really have a sense of place, of belonging to any one location. Having grown up in the Dust Bowl of the Canadian prairies during the Great Depression, losing my mother as a child and my father as a teenager, the concept of home does not resonate with me. I have lived or traveled in more than thirty countries on five continents. I�ve crossed the Atlantic in a sailboat both ways with my wife Mary, and daughters, Jennifer and Margaret. I�ve paddled a canoe through the sub-arctic to James Bay, slept in an abandoned Greek monastery at the foot of Mt. Olympus, drunk Chang � barley beer � with Buddhist monks in the remote Himalayas. I have lost my way on the Incan Trail in Peru, seen the sun rise on Mt. Kilimanjaro, been followed by Tito�s secret police in Yugoslavia. My first sight of the Canadian Rockies was from the top of a freight car, and I�ve heard loons calling on northern lakes, seen rainbows in the mist flowing into the Grand Canyon. Buried pirate treasure beckoned me to a Pacific island off Central America. I�ve read Homer�s Odyssey while at anchor at Ithaca, listened to Mozart�s Requiem in the cathedral in Vienna, basked in the rich glow of the stained glass windows of Chartres cathedral, scorched my bare feet on the sun-baked marble courtyard of the Taj Mahal. Where�s my home? My travels are my home.
