In 1972-73 I undertook a trip around the world visiting Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00ed communities, starting in the South Pacific. <\/p>\n

An article about the trip was published in The Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00ed World Vol. XV<\/a>. Here are my travel teacher reports for the South Pacific<\/a>.
\nAnd here is my expense report for this first part of the trip<\/a>. Organizing this trip required considerable correspondence,
\nwhich you can view here for 1972-23<\/a> and here for 1973<\/a>. And here are my letters home and to\/from friends<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 2023 I shared some stories from that trip in a Zoom series organized by Jennifer Wiebers (0h52):<\/p>\n
