Much has been written about the condition of our planet in the year 2000 AD. Melody and I decided to venture out and see it for ourselves and to report our findings in a photographic journal. Thus we became Pilgrims. This web site is a natural evolution made possible by the purchase of our digital camera in Amsterdam. Thus we are able to post photos and text as we proceed.

With the dramatic fall of communistic governments worldwide, it seemed a good time to travel there, and many other places, to report those conditions in our view. Our method of finding reasonable accommodations and using local transport is quite novel. We often enter major cities such as Beijing, with no hotel reservations. We transport our own baggage and seldom use taxis. We are immensely enjoying our World-Tour 2000, now in progress.

We hope you enjoy this account of our travels.
