We spent today in search of new adventures in Grand Teton National Park. At the suggestion of a park ranger we hiked near String Lake where the mountains seem to come up out of the water. We explored a little in the Laurence S. Rockefeller Preserve to learn more about the area and more about the family that was so instrumental in bringing about this and other national parks that we love. We left via Moose Wilson Road and drove through the Teton Pass and headed for Arco, Idaho where we camped at the KOA in view of their treasured “Numbers Mountain” where high school seniors have painted their graduation years since 1920. Had a fun little “party” with the campground host and another guest.
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.
