Today was another bonus day. We two relished the ability to stay home. We visited with Lou and Peg over breakfast then did some quiet activities. Peg sat in the sun and did some crochet. Steve and Lou conferred over the best approach to take with a problem with the spa. Karen worked on some pharmacy continuing education while sitting on the deck. We all visited Creekside for a bit. Lou and Peg went into town on some errands and canned some blueberry jam. Everyone took naps. Then in the early evening we joined old friends Paul and Sharon for dinner at a delightful Mexican restaurant nearby before heading on together to a concert on the green at Western Carolina University. Afterwards we gathered around the firepit on our deck for a sunset gathering. It was such fun to be all together. We had all been friends together three decades ago when our kids were little. Now we’re together again in the mountains of North Carolina!
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.
