Among the tasks that we’ve been involved in as part of transitioning Gary to home is helping him sort through some of his possessions that have been packed away in boxes and putting them away in appropriate places. One of the treasures that we uncovered today is a very large birthday card that we presented to him many years ago in our just barely post-college years. In those days we had a saying, not especially socially acceptable, that involved the bluebird of happiness. It brought smiles to all of our faces when it came out of a box and found a new home in his office.
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.
