We ventured onto the back roads of Hernando County to the home of long time friends Stan and Elaine for a wonderful luncheon feast and a leisurely visit. Steve and Stan may be reluctant to count up the number of years their friendship spans but we can say that it dates to junior high days. After comparing notes on our current lives and our children’s accomplishments the conversation turned to memories of Stan and Steve’s hiking and camping adventures from the Appalachian Trail to Lake Moccasin. Elaine and Karen were treated to tales they had never heard and that the guys probably never told their mothers! We are so blessed to have such good friends!
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.
