It was a day of natural wonders. It began with beautiful blue skies! We drove to Devil’s Tower National Monument for a three hour visit including a hike around the base marveling at the skill of the climbers. Then we drove to Medora, ND along backroads. One was Montana 323 which was a gravel road through open range. Besides cattle we saw the deer and the antelope play. We were awfully glad to be in the car when we saw the rattler! Arrived in Medora shortly after sunset and moonrise. It’s a lovely cool and dry evening.
Thanks for getting in touch! I love the pictures and your comments. I hope I get as lucky as you two someday. To find someone I love as much as you two love each other… You can see your having a wonderful time, way to go! Take care friends,

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.

Holy smoke, that’s a huge rattler snake! Always good to read your blog.
Yes! That was quite an impressive rattlesnake. The photo was taken with me safely inside the car and the snake on the outside!
