We spent the day with Karen’s parents at their home in Zephyrhills and had a wonderful time going through old family photos and movies. We’ve come away with a box of photos to scan and return and an external hard drive full of home movies to back up and edit. We also shared with them the new family genealogy site and the research files we have posted there. We went through some of the black and white photos taken at their parents’ homes during the first couple of years that they were married. Here’s a shot of Karen as a two year old with her baby brother, parents, grandparents and aunts and uncles.
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.
