The iconic Beverly Hills Hotel signature script was the creation of the African American architect Paul Revere Williams. In addition to the creation of the hotel script in his own handwriting, in the 1940’s Mr. Williams was responsible for designing the Crescent Wing of The Beverly Hills Hotel. He was also responsible for the redesign of the Polo Lounge, Fountain Coffee Room and the pink and green motif.

Mr. Williams was born in 1894 in Los Angeles, California. During his amazing career Mr. Williams designed homes for celebrities as well as public and private buildings. Mr. Williams became the first African American member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) in 1923.

One of the many things Amsterdam is known for is its use of bicycles. Unfortunately, many of these bicycles end up in the surrounding water. During our walk back to our hotel in Amsterdam we noticed a cluster of bicycles that had been pulled from the water. The bicycles contained brownish patches of rust.

One of our most magical travel moments was cruising on the English Channel. The English Channel is the arm of the Atlantic Ocean between France and Great Britain. The water was so calm it felt like we were floating!
