From Masai Mara to Da Nang

In this book I present a number of often-exciting and sometimes very unusual experiences I have had while visiting living and/or working in several foreign countries over a thirty-year period from 1967 until 1997. Contained in this volume one of three I have selected thirty of the over two hundred stories I wrote during my working career while traveling to and from overseas assignments.The stories detail actual events and conditions that include surviving a Peace Corps experience in the savannah area in Kenya in the 1960s working in the swamps and jungles of Indonesia the rain forests of Brazil the desert and delta of Egypt and the varied terrain in Pakistan and inspecting the irrigation facilities of the war-torn country of Vietnam eighteen years after the war with the United States ended.
