Europe In July

Posted on 2023-08-09 by Curtis Hertwig

Sorry, I’ve been recalcitrant in writing this post, but it has been too hot to sit inside and type. Back in July I spent most of the month in Europe centered around 2 things – the Tour de France & visiting new countries. While 2 of the countries I’d intended to visit didn’t happen, the…

Ramadan & Easter At Once!

Posted on 2023-04-24 by Curtis Hertwig

On this trip I visited Egypt & Jordan (with an extension to Saudi Arabia which I canceled) should have netted me 3 new countries and gotten me up to 74, but has me rethinking my strategy of traveling just to add countries that I have not been to. Or perhaps I should pay more attention…

What I Did On My Summer Vacation

Posted on 2023-03-11 by Curtis Hertwig

So, first of all I had to go to the Southern Hemisphere to find summer. Thankfully, Buenos Aires cooled down to a reasonable level while I was there, but Montevideo was just plain hot & cloudless on the return trip.I cooled down in Antarctica in between, so it was a good trip. Two things about…

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…
