Colorful Country #69

Posted on 2023-01-272023-01-27 by Curtis Hertwig

So, my life is reduced cherry picking countries in the world & taking a quick trip to them. Having been to 68 countries in the world, Colombia looked good for #69. It was just a 4 1/2 hour flight from Atlanta & I decided to spend 3 nights in Bogotá. I won’t really pretend I’ve…

Hours In a Tin Can On the Tundra

Posted on 2022-11-18 by Curtis Hertwig

I am returning home from a very intense 7 day trip to Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. Being from Georgia, any time spent where the sun is only visible for 8 hours a day and exposed skin while outside is in danger of freezing, but add to that spending said 8 hours in a school bus on…

Peru & the Amazon River

Posted on 2022-10-16 by Curtis Hertwig

As I write this I am just returning from visiting my 68th country, exploring Lima & spending 5 days on a boat on the Amazon River during the not-as-wet-as-the-other season. In the really wet season the water is 30-40′ higher and the difference causes animals to change what they eat and how they defend themselves….

Easter In Spain

Posted on 2022-06-132022-06-13 by Curtis Hertwig

Two years ago I was supposed to go to northern Spain for Easter. This year I finally got to do it. For towns in the Basque region and all over Spain this is like their Spring festivals and they parade and put on reenactments with great fervor. The hoods and robes that they wear when…

Family Return to My & the American Past

Posted on 2022-01-02 by Curtis Hertwig

So, this Christmas I traveled to Boston, Framingham & western Massachusetts for the holiday. I lived for some of my formative years in Framingham and I derived great enjoyment by taking them to my past and some of the oldest places created by European culture in the US. International travel in 2022 promises to continue…

Buckaroo Bonzai Across the Balkans During COVID

Posted on 2021-10-03 by Curtis Hertwig

The countries of the Balkan region have been used and abused by every major power since recorded time began. Currently, they are taking a break from beating up on each other while trying to join the EU and NATO. I decided that COVID-wise they are not more dangerous than my hometown and took the opportunity…

So, I am fully vaccinated and before they tell me that I have shed all my antibodies I’m getting on a plane!!! Certain eye problems have slowed me down so this may not actually take place until late June, but I have been making road trips. Two favorites within a 3 hour drive are St…

Beating Boredom In My Backyard

Posted on 2021-03-082021-04-05 by Curtis Hertwig

So, I’ve been home for about 2 weeks now while Spring started breaking out here in Georgia. To that end, I set up a bird feeder a few yards from the house and am taking advantage of floor to ceiling windows to shoot the birds. I still haven’t gotten the hang of identifying birds, but…
