Spent a good portion of today helping Lou get organized for her move to Palo Alto. We are so excited about her opportunity at Stanford Medical Center and so nostalgic for the good times we have had with her in Santa Fe. We lunched at Blue Moon Cafe. It was delicious Southwest Cuisine and a beautiful view of the mountains. Did fun little things like dancing in the living room (did you know that swing dance photography is difficult – no one stay still while you get the shot) and making homemade noodles for chicken noodle soup (Meg’s specialty) and gazing out at the little birds pecking at the bird feed in the snow.
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.
