CJ needed five pounds of clay for her next project for her current art class at USF. That prompted us to visit St Pete Clay in the old freight train station in St Petersburg. Although they did not stock the kind of clay that she needed it gave Steve a chance to visit a part of railroad history and Karen a chance to find out where to get tools, glazes, and other good stuff for her clay class at The Arts Center.
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.
