The Tor on the Isle of Avalon; some say it is the Tor of Glastonbury, England, where 4000-years of history are melted into its summit. Where the bones lie in the tunnels within the maze of its structure; and deep within its bowls, resides the entrance to the Underworld, where the giants of old came to adore the Mother Goddess and where the Mysteries of King Arthur are held sacred. My guesthouse was on the Tor, where I went to see a number of times, climbing its terraces. The area dates back to 65,000 BC.

Ta Prohm Temple, Cambodia; where nature and man meet eye to eye. It is the strangest little ancient temple city I have ever encountered. The local inhabitants say giants built the city, what I do know are that, the trees are holding it together, like the fingers of God.

Rosa and I are hidden somewhat in the background, sheltered by the tree and the temple. 12/2000

Over 240,000 visitors come to this site a year, welcome, and hope you visit my travels and book sections during your visit. My favorite books and authors, and poets. First the authors: Mary Renault, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Hemmingway, Remarque, Neil Gaiman, Colleen McCullough, William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Mark Twain: those are on the top shelf.

The poets I like are: George Sterling, Clark A. Smith, Robert Howard [from the macabre side of life]; Robert Bly, and Don Hall, [contemporary poets]; Emily Dickenson, Robert Frost , Edwin Markham, and Longfellow. In additon, Carl Sandburg, Cesar Vallejo and Howard Nemerov. Some of my favorites poems are: "The Man with the Hoe"; "The Road Not Taken", and, "The Mending Wall"; along with "Richard Cory," and several from the Dickenson collection. Also, "A Tale of Troy", by John Masefield"; " Roman Lawyer in Jerusalem," by W.W. Story l899; most of Sterling's poems; and the Spider and the Fly. There are many more but these just happen to come to mind; I also like "Johnathen Livingston Segall," by Bach--and so forth.

Some of the artists I like and enjoy would be: Picasso, Dali, Warhol, Goya, and Yang Yang. Picasso for his nightmarish style, and passion for the obscure; Dali for his stretching reality and love of life; Goya for his lost childhood in his paintings and his demonic twists; Warhol for his simplicity and race with life; and Yang Yang for his psycological bends. I have also enjoyed many artists work from Peru, in particular from Lima and Huancayo; they are just not reconized world wide; one being, Max A. Urteaga Alcalde.

My music: I like Elvis, Rick Nelson, Johnny Cash, Nat King Cole, Enya, Diane Krall; John Stevens, Slim Whitman, Enya, Bob Dylon, and more, I just can't put my finger on them now. In second place, I would choose, Dylan, Frank Sinatra, the Beatles, the Doors and a few others.

For those interested in my books or travels, just look above for the proper connections for the site; and have a good day; and may the Lord Bless you.
