We raised a bibliophile. And he’s passing the trait on to the next generation. Books abound in this household. In the apartment David had a hall closet that housed a good portion of his books and a couple of bookcases in the living room. In this house there is no book closet option. And the girls are growing their own collections. As we have been emptying boxes and filling up bookcases it has become evident that more bookcases are needed. Time for a trip to the store and bookshelf assembly in the middle of the living room. Amy is traveling to Virginia for a high school reunion this weekend. The girls are with their mother. Grab a dinner at the local bar and grill then shuffle Dave off to a quiet space to do some studying. A little more unpacking then time for us to head back to the T@B for a much needed rest.
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.
