We received a last minute invitation to dance to the music of The Jive Aces at Clearwater’s Winter Wonderland event. After a mad dash to downtown Clearwater just after Karen got off of work, we had a wonderful hour of dancing (on asphalt) to the strains of our favorite in the whole wide world swing band – The Jive Aces from London, England. It was good to see the band members again, it’s been at least three years since we have had a chance to visit with them or to dance to one of their live performances!
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.
