CURRENT MISSION

Meet people from anywhere and everywhere and try to show them our corner of America.

ABOUT ME

We like to travel (went to Italy fall of 06 - a fabulous trip) and see other cultures from "backstage" versus "orchestra seats" - meaning we want to see how YOU live in your country, not from the viewpoint of a tourist in your country.

PHILOSOPHY

"You're dead a long time......."
