We spent today in search of memories from our honeymoon – and we found them! The Grand Tetons are more crowded than when we came in 1973 but we found an almost quiet stretch of Jenny Lake shore for our lunch. The door on the outhouse at Menor’s Ferry is now nailed shut, but it’s still there. We spent a quiet moment inside the Chapel of the Transfiguration before returning to Jackson Hole for a dinner of buffalo ribeye and Mighty Bison Brown Ale.
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.
How was the Mighty Bison Brown Ale?
It was great meeting you both! Thanks for the visit… I needed it. Enjoy the journey. 🙂
If they have to nail the door shut….
I LOVE Jackson Hole – everything is wood and stone! I also liked the antler horn entranceways to the town park – did you get to see those? It is such a beautiful place…and the Tetons……what a sight!
