Here is a short video I made showing the drive to Baby Beach, Aruba. The video begins after San Nicolaas, at the anchor memorial. It then continues to a deserted Baby Beach. The best time to go is early in the morning when you can have the place to yourself, more or less. Take a view:
Ahhhhh, Aruba. Sun, sand, and surf! Enjoy.
As the photo below shows, three pallets of my novel, An Island Away, just arrived here in Aruba. This was a welcome sight as many stores have run low or sold out completely. More are on the way, too, because I’ll be hosting several events this month as well as in December.
For more information about An Island Away or to read excerpts, go to my website through the link here at my blog.
Thanks and happy reading!
Well, I’m back on the island of Aruba. And here is a video of the approach, aboard American Airlines flight 1047 from Miami to Aruba. The video begins with a shot of the northwest corner of the island and continues along the coast, showing Palm and Eagle beaches. Then you see the cruise ship terminal at Oranjestaad and finally the landing at the airport. See you there.
Bon dia!
I’m just learning this video software. Once I get it down, the quality will improve. In the mean time, stick with me on the learning curve.
The New Hope & Ivyland Railroad is another piece of living history. It is a tourist train that carries passengers from New Hope, Pennsylvania to Lhaska, several miles away. I’m not positive, but I think the line was originally part of the old Reading Railroad.
This isn’t my greatest photo of No. 4, which was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works many years ago. I actually have some very nice black and white photos of this engine and her tender in both black and white and color. I took them back when I used Hasselbalds and large format cameras. The prints hang on the walls of my house. Take a look at the engineer; he certainly looks the part. I have to get a hat like that.
The last few weeks the train has been running steadily, giving people great views of the fall foliage and pumpkin patches set up for children. New Hope itself is a fun town with plenty of good restaurants, odd shops, and dinner theaters. It gets crowded on the weekends.
