Friend and Inspiration

Jim Pastoret doesn't ride an Indian like he did as a younger man, but he does go every other day to the gym for a workout. Bob and Jim V. enjoy Pastoret's company at the Senior Center on Thursday and Friday mornings. Jim P., at 88 enjoys sharing his love of nature and broad interest in the past and present.

Bob's Hero

Ted Simon at age 43 began a four year odyssey around the world by motorcycle and wrote a book called Jupiter's Travels. His journey took him over 64,000 miles. 27 years later he set out to retrace his first adventure. The below video link is a clip from a film made about the african portion of his second trip and book called Dreaming of Jupiter.

Beach front property
















After many years of dreaming about adventures, Bob convinced Jim to invest in beach front property somewhere in the middle east. Luckily Jim wasn't too upset about the absence of water when he found a camel that knew the meaning of life.
