Toledo in April! We arrived on a Monday in cold rainy weather and took the opportunity to go out to Maumee Bay State Park. Got a peek at Lake Erie but the weather didn’t invite us to a walk on the beach. Did see some wildlife. A skunk, several deer, and some geese. On sunny Tuesday we toured some of the galleries at the awesome Toledo Museum of Art and see a film on The Art of the Tuileries Garden. We’ve had fun with cousins and an honorary cousin eating good food and swapping stories!
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.
