For many years now we have had an Easter Vigil tradition with our friend Kay. We attend the Easter Vigil Mass that begins with the lighting of candles to illuminate the darkened church and includes Baptisms and Confirmations to welcome new Christians into the Church. After the Mass we gather with Kay and other friends for a party at her house. Sometimes it’s a large gathering, sometimes including one of the newly baptized. Other times, including this year, it’s an intimate gathering. Always it’s a warm and wonderful experience.
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.
