Early this morning Steve and Gary rented a truck and loaded all of Steve’s woodworking equipment to take to David in North Canton, Ohio. Steve has been using the Shopsmith less and less through the years and now is actively engaged in silversmithing. Dave is earnestly interested in learning wordworking. Hopefully he has enough space for all of this equipment! Although there really was enough room on the truck, the term “Ramming Speed!” was heard at least once during the loading process.
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.
Today’s safari adventure transported us out into the Dorob National Park to have up close encounters with little creatures that are well adapted to the extreme heat and lack of water in the Namib Desert.
With a UNESCO World Heritage Site, two national parks, dozens of museums, and hundreds of tours offered in the Cape Town area there is more than plenty to do. For our two day visit we opted to concentrate on African wildlife visiting the Aquila Private Game Reserve and the Boulders Beach Penguin Colony for a wonderful chance to these fabulous animals in their own habitat.
