We and our mail have finally ended up in the same place at the same time. In fact it arrived at The UPS Store here just six minutes before we walked through the door! Our mail is being forwarded to a UPS store in Franklin NC. Periodically we contact them and ask them to ship our accumulated mail to a specified place. This time it was to be Eureka CA to arrive on Friday the 11th but it got shipped Ground and didn’t arrive ’til after we left. We had it redirected to the UPS Store in Twin Falls where we reconnected with it a week later. Always an adventure!
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.
Mighty cute mailman you’ve got there . . .!
