an essay on my life
life compass
by judester
Born and raised in Montreal, I left home the week I graduated, headed west to a boom town in northern Alberta. From there I traveled south along the west coast of America in a van, south to Mexico then north to Montreal.
In the Florida Keys, I met Captain Bob and headed east, sailing a charter boat in the Bahamas. We sold the boat, drove north to Vermont and built my log cabin.
Around that time, I began plastering, then specialized in renovations of old homes and buildings.
Met Michael and left for Africa to run an ostrich ranch which evolved into a very successful fresh vegetable farm. I found joy in cooking and catered to the volunteers visiting Zanzibar, The trip to Africa was to be six months... it will now be 21 years.
Tomorrow I am going to Zanzibar, then mid-April, back to Montreal for good. Full circle.
