CJ finished up two grueling Chemistry exams this week then came home to St Petersburg for a 24 hour break before heading back to Tampa to finish up the charcoal animation she is doing for her final project in her Art class. While she was home we enjoyed dinner at the original Bonefish Grill and a delightfully leisurely lunch at L’Olivier’s, a Creperie downtown. Just before heading back to Tampa she got the news that she will be able to get ALL the Art History classes she needs and will be able to GRADUATE at the end of the FALL SEMESTER!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
