I decided that I need to lay it out in one post, as much for me as for you. I want to see it altogether. So this will change as I update it. It starts when I truly began to travel, my 1st trip to Africa. I had done several trips to Mexico before and of course the travels with my Army father but my first African trip feels like the start.

FYI: The sculpture was created by Patrick Amiot and Brigitte Laurent.
