About My Site

Last time I returned from a trip, I was discouraged by all the memorabilia that I'd collected, including stories, video clips and photos, knowing that it would be difficult to share the entire experience with other people. "So that's it," I thought as I disappeared my collections into a fading binder. Instead of allowing the experiences to slip away, though, I decided to create this Web site where I could share my love of travel, writing and photography -- and, of course, the Web -- with fellow Internet friends.

Recently, I have been focusing on the natural beauty and unique people who live in the Bay Area, and have just finished a film about Ray Bandar, a skull collector who has been volunteering for the California Academy of Science for more than 50 years. This movie, "Ray Bandar: A Life with Skulls," focuses on his life and what he's gone through to gather and process his collection of more than 7000 skulls. The movie is now playing around the Bay Area and will be showing at the EarthDance Environment Film Festival at the Oakland Museum in April. Check their web site for the exact date and time.

Drop me a note if you have any comments about my site or places I've been.

Happy Trails,

Beth
