Well, today didn’t go quite the way we’d planned it but due to Steve’s diligence we did make some progress. We have been wanting to add more stepping stones around the hot tub. We made a trip to Bryson’s, got four stones, put them amid the existing stones and decided we needed more. Another trip to Bryson’s, four more stones, more hefting and digging, and it’s as done as its going to get today. Another day we’ll refine the placements and decide if more stones are needed, in the meantime its time for wine and cheese. We still have a little of the Nebbia wine from California and some Amish cheese from Ohio! Life is good!
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.





Speaking of stones, how is the thyme around the front walk doing?
Good question! Guess that one deserves it’s own post complete with photo1
