Back in early 2002 we took American History I at the University of South Florida campus In St. Petersburg with Lee Irby. Among the things we talked about was The Great Awakening and the clergyman Jonathan Edwards. It was because of those classroom discussions that we made a point of visiting this site of one of Edwards’ most famous sermons here in Enfield. Certainly the fact that there is a geocache here has nothing to do with it!
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.
