Who knows how many times we have stopped at this rest area on I-75-S, the official Florida Welcome Center. This time we saw a couple taking pictures of each other by the sign. We offered to take photos of the two of them and then they took our photo too! There aren’t too many things that would lure us to The Sunshine State in August but a family reunion in honor of Karen’s parents’ 65th Wedding Anniversary is one. Even as we were taking our break, we were getting text messages from family members as they were landing at various airports. Let the party begin!
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.
