We’ve been visiting family in Ohio since April 14th. We’ve visited Marietta, Canton, Toledo, Dayton, Milford, and Cincinnati. We’ve had a glorious time with our granddaughters, our son and his girlfriend, aunts, an uncle, first and second cousins and various cousins once removed. We’ve swapped family stories and camping tales, hiked, enjoyed museums, parks, fabulous home cooking, fine dining, favorite restaurants and Graeter’s Ice Cream. It was snowing our first morning here. It’s warm and sunny now and has been crazy Springtime weather in between. It’s been a great three weeks. Now we’re headed to Tween Creeks to swap the comforts of our gypsy wagon for the comforts of our mountain house.
Dakar, Senegal: A Wolof Village & The Pink Lake
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.








Safe travels back to NC!
