We started the day with a visit to FDR’s Little White House and the Therapeutic Pools in Warm Springs, Georgia. We were struck by how unassuming the little house was. We had the privilege of meeting a delightful woman who had known FDR in her youth and had called him “Rosey”. Back on the road we had a wonderful lunch of peanut butter and mint jelly sandwiches – a tradition of ours from 1973 and headed north on back roads until we were north of Atlanta. We camped in Clinton, Tennessee, where we dined on canned ravioli! We’re having a great time!
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.
Those peanut butter and mint jelly sandwiches bring back memories and leaves me with a hankering for some myself
