On Sunday Dave put a post on our family web pages about the pancakes he and Riley cooked up to celebrate a snowy day. Greg responded with news that he and Rachel had made pancakes because they seem just right on a snowy day. So while we still have snow on the ground, we whipped up a mess of blueberry buckwheat pancakes. Later in the day we ventured out to find that the snow is all gone everywhere but our yard. We went into the the post office to rent a box. Now we have a North Carolina address!
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.
