Today was a good day for a big breakfast, local eggs, Amish bacon, toast made from Annie’s bread, and stone ground grits. The sad part of that was it was the last of the grits that we got at Falls Mill on our Tennessee Ramble. Something in us wants to go back and to gather up some more of the good things to eat and drink that came home with us that time. We’d like some Pearl wine from Grinder’s Switch, some Gentleman Jack from Lynchburg, and hominy grits from Falls Mill. If it’s from a neighboring state does that qualify as local?
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.
