We have spent parts of the last four days with CJ and Phil. We met them at Sonny’s BBQ in Starke on Saturday night after they had spent the day at the Hogtown Renaissance Fair then we met for breakfast at The Jones Eastside Eatery in Gainesville before they spent the day at The Natural History Museum. Then we met at Lee Roy Selmon’s for dinner before heading to their place. We stayed with them for two nights while they returned to their workaday worlds. Phil cooked up a veritable feast for Monday night dinner then after breakfast Tuesday we had to hug them good bye. We will get to see them on Thursday for a little while but it always seems that there is not enough time to do all the things or have all the conversations we want to with them.
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.
