Just after we moved here three years ago we decided we wanted to name our property and to have a handcrafted sign to welcome visitors. It took us a while to settle on the right name and then another long time to find the artist to craft the sign for us. Finally we found John of Bear Necessities. Today we took delivery of a beautiful sign crafted from a red oak plank that will grace the end of our garden/entrance to our house. Thank you Cousin Kathy for the suggestion of the name “‘Tween Creeks”!
I like the name…great to see you this past Friday. We were going to try to come Sat, but just too tired from helping my daughter move. Hope to see you again soon.
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.
