We wanted to visit the Adams Historical Park in our quest to visit as many American Presidential sites as we can. So on Monday after Greg & Rachel went to work we headed out on our own for the 45 minute train ride to Quincy Center only to find out that the park is closed for the winter. We did have some good clam chowder at Blue 22. Then on the ride home we got the call that the car was ready, that we should ride all the way to Alewife and wait for the courtesy van. After a half hour wait in the rain out ride arrived and took us to our repaired Trailblazer. Stopped for some dinner makings then back to Greg & Rachel’s cozy place where Greg & Steve made a wonderful Cranberry Blueberry Pear Pie.
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.
