J L World Tour Project

In 2002 when we returned from our around-the-world sabbatical, we sent a tee shirt to the people who we met and who hosted us that year. This is the design.



The map is Buckminster Fuller's "dimaxion projection" of the earth -- the flat map with the least distortion. Can you find your home?

The flags are for the countries we visited ... can you name them all?



Please Help

Many of our friends sent pictures of themselves wearing their tee shirts. We were happy to receive the pictures. But now we cannot find them on our computer. We looked and looked. We only found a few. If you have any pictures of yourself wearing this shirt, please send them to us.

Also, we would like to display your picture below. So, please tell us if it is OK to include yours in the Gallery.

Thanks.
