Generally we make Pulled Pork only for Deck Day, but several factors conspired to make us want to make up a batch. First of all was the availability of a locally raised Boston Butt at Bryson’s this week. And the fact that we have friends coming over on Sunday. Then there was this super cold snap. A little Jimmy Buffett on the stereo and some pork slow cooking in the oven and we can almost imagine summertime even as we wear our long underwear inside the house. Visions of barbecue dancing in our heads! Yum!
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.
