The day dawned dark and stormy and stayed that way all day. Mostly the rains were light and intermittent but they continued on all day just as they have all week. We’re so grateful to be only on the fringes of this storm. This morning was one of those times when little things keep going wrong even as things got accomplished. Friends Mark and Nick came and moved the bedroom furniture out of the downstairs storage room! The day was brightened by our rescheduled Monday lunch with Vivian, with frozen yogurt from our friends at The Full Monty, and a wonderful dinner with MJ at Parkshore Grill.
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.





Just wanted to say it works and I look forward to reading about coming adventures!
