Cathy and Steve’s birthdays are two days apart. As we have many times we celebrated the two birthdays on the day in between. And this year that day was the day before Gary’s retirement from Seminole Electric. So we gathered for a barbeque dinner at Mike and Cathy’s. We two arrived with dinner fixin’s and had a fun time assisting Matt and Em in getting everything ready before their parents got home. CJ and Phil came over from Brandon and Ed joined in the festivities. A fun time was had by all.
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.
