We broke camp this morning and headed toward Glens Falls and beyond into Vermont. We found a campsite at Duxbury Country Store and Campground, a tiny little place but we still had folks who wanted to see our little camper. We ended up running late for our trip into Northfield but once there had no difficulty locating the street dance and the Starline Rhythm Boys in the Village Square. And Jean Elizabeth found us as we walked up. She and friends John, Joan, and Sally had driven over from the Burlington area to dance to the strains of JE’s favorite swing band. It was such a fun evening dancing at a New England Labor Day Festival on a perfect late summer evening!
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.
