It’s ten years today since we came back to Mac. At the time we were shopping for a new genealogy program and with the help of Greg we found Reunion, exactly what we wanted. At The Apple Store at International Plaza we purchased an iBook with OS X Panther. With the patient guidance of Greg and help from David Pogue’s The Missing Manual, we set about learning all things Apple/Mac. Soon we were both wanting to use the iBook all the time and neither wanted to use the Windows powered PC. Many devices later we still appreciate the ease of use of OS X and now iOS.
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.
