As we traveled northeast from Memphis, TN to Owensboro, KY it looked as if we were leaving autumn behind and entering winter. A few trees still had some autumn leaves but most of the deciduous trees were bare. Spent the afternoon and evening with friends Chuck & Terry, their granddaughter Hallie, their daughter Beth, and their lovable pooches Pudgie & Patches. Steve & Chuck were great friends in high school and we’ve recently reconnected with him and his wife after more than thirty years. It’s one of those friendships that stands the test of time.
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.







We really enjoyed your visit and are glad you could stop by on your way north.
