Saturday morning in Waco, Texas, we were privileged to witness the fine young men and women of Texas A&M Corps of Cadets and band march prior to the football game against Baylor. We met Karen’s sister and brother-in-law and her nephew, one of the corps members in downtown Waco. After the parade we lunched with the Lenz family and some of Brian’s fellow corps members before traveling to Bedford to enjoy the hospitality of Patti & Mark for a few days.
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.
