Started the day with a sunrise visit to Arches National Park and loved it even with the gray skies. Love that park! Went to Mass in Moab then had breakfast at the Jailhouse Cafe. Great food. By afternoon thunderstorms had rolled in but we ventured out anyway. Visited Dead Horse Point State Park for some awesome views of the canyon then went on to Canyonlands National Park. Saw a complete rainbow arch! We hiked to Mesa Arch then we watched the sunset from the Green River Overlook. Although the canyon is not as deep, in many ways we like Canyonlands even better than Grand Canyon.

Is that a double rainbow in your picture?!? That is so amazing! Actually all of your pictures are just as wonderful – and each one reminds me of how much I miss you guys. I got to hang out with CJ at Ryan and April’s wedding this past Sunday, though! Can’t wait to see what you guys post next!
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.
