Carol took us on w a walking tour of the historic Fairmount Neighborhood of Fort Worth where she and Dick live. On a warm June day it’s only appropriate to seek some iced refreshment after a while so she guided us to Avoca Coffee Roasters. They also offer incredible iced tea, brewed by the glass after you order it. While we were sipping on said delight, we looked up and recognized Del! We first met him during his Tampa days when Greg brought him to Deck Day. We last saw him in Boston. He now teaches in Texas not far from Fort Worth. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to spend with him this trip but we promised that now that he is on our map that we’ll make plans with him on another trip through and he may try to make plans for Deck Day at Tween Creeks!
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.
