Welcome to Harvey Travel Arts! This is the home of two Harveys who love to travel around the world. Brian is our family photographer, and Amber journals and paints about the places we have seen. Pack your suitcase and join us on our adventure!
I was flipping through pictures of Leonardo da Vinci's inventions and decided this would be the most interesting one to choose. I'm not even sure I remember what this was, exactly, except that I was like a kid on a playground as I climbed inside and turned the wheel. It kind of reminds me of those carnival rides where you go inside and spin around with the rock music blaring...or perhaps a hatch for the 'others' on "Lost." And then, there's this: the human hamster wheel. I really was curious, but no, there was no way to actually climb into it, lawsuits and all that. There was a lever you could push, and it rotated some, but the fun was quickly left behind, my attention span not lasting so long. Really, now, why do they put these "shineys" up there for us to look at if half of them are going to be roped off or inoperable? Where's the fun in that?
It has been a long time since I've updated my blog! I apologize for that. Sometimes life gets in the way and sometimes I just forget and loose track of the things I have started and need to keep up. With that said, I really appreciate you all for reading this travel blog and hope to get it going again soon. But first, I want to share with you my latest creation! The Inheritance Inn, by my alter ego, Rebekah Burton, is now available as a Kindle book at Amazon. I will also make it available in paperback form soon. Here's a description to get you started: Avery’s life is turned upside down when she loses her job and a beloved great-aunt in the same day. Before the fateful Monday is even over, she discovers that she has also inherited her family’s inn. Soon Avery is at odds with her own relatives over the planned reopening of the inn. Avery isn’t even sure she wants her inheritance, but eventually discovers that someone else...
I've been wanting to post this pic for a while. In nearby Schwetzingen, there's a parking lot with all kinds of cute "reserved" spots. They're all painted similar to a handicap spot, but rather have UFOs, birds, and I think a cow on some of them. I don't know why they painted them, other than to be funny. All I know is someone has a sense of humor in that quaint town!
