Gary arrived this past Friday and we have spent the last several days celebrating the autumn foliage of Western North Carolina. We drove on the Blue Ridge Parkway, explored in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, drove local mountain roads, visited Judaculla Rock, and a few waterfalls, all the while taking lots of photos. We’ve had some perfect weather for such adventures. Jackets required in the morning but lots of sunshine and blue skies. Also celebrated autumn with lots of good local seasonal foods such as fresh pork chops and apple pie!
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.
