Just hours after CJ finished the last of her Fall Semester finals (four exams in less than thirty-six hours), the three of us headed for Santa Fe. Because of a fluke in our airline reservations Steve was scheduled to arrive in Santa Fe two hours before CJ and Karen. Bad weather intervened though and the two of us were stuck in Houston Bush airport for several more hours. Ultimately we made it to Santa Fe the same evening and commenced on a five day family fun fest. Ate Ellen’s Spice Cookies, checked out local yarn shops, visited, played multi-solitaire, knitted, entertained, and had a wonderful family visit.
Dakar, Senegal: A Wolof Village & The Pink Lake
Queen Mary 2’s arrival in the Port of Dakar, Senegal was heralded in the local press and greeted with ceremony. Our own excursion took us on a coach journey through the streets of the capital city to visit a Wolof village and the shore of Lake Retba, the salty lake famed for an intense pink color.
