Today was the day that school was to begin in Pinellas County but with the possibility of a hurricane coming, school was cancelled. And the storm didn’t exactly come. We had lots of clouds and occasional light sprinkles. We ran errands at places that were open and didn’t go to studio because The Arts Center was closed. Remembered old times. The Albertsons where Karen practiced Pharmacy from 1979 to 1984 is now closing, it has been bought by Publix. For dinner we met Sharon and Jim downtown and walked to the restaurant with umbrellas in hand. Had a wonderful 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.
