It’s Spring Cleaning Time! Our current emphasis is on dejunking closets. We’re bent on getting rid of superfluous stuff. One thing we are discarding is the packaging for all our CD’s and DVD’s. We’re keeping the original discs although we’ve ripped the music and movies to our computer but the discs we are storing in paper sleeves in a couple of boxes designed for that purpose. The space savings is amazing. We’re also sorting through boxes and boxes of paper memorabilia and using Scan Genius on the iPhone to convert lots of stuff to scanned images then recycling the paper. We’ve gone through several cupboards and drawers and discarded useless stuff and donated good reusable stuff. And we’ve only begun.
Oh! It’s so good to begin finding space in closets and drawers. We’ve lost count of the trips to Friends of the Library, Goodwill, and the dump but there have been many. And there’s still so much yet to sort through!
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.
Don’t you feel a great sense of accomplishment?!
