Back in August, before we left St Petersburg, we gifted our treasured “Old Tavern Pine” bedroom furniture to friends. We knew the pieces were too big to fit up the stairs and into our bedroom here. Since then our bed has been an air mattress on the floor. Our guest bed though has been an air mattress up on a frame. As Greg and Rachel prepared to head home to Boston, they moved the guest bed into our room so that we can finally sleep Up Off the Floor! Sometime in the future we will get around to getting a real bed. In the meantime, this isn’t bad.
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.
