To give Lou and Bill a taste of life in WNC, we did a waterfalls day. Of course we started the day with coffee on the deck but from there we headed out for a day of exploration. Up to Cashiers and east into Transylvania County then south to Whitewater Falls with a cache along the way. Then south to just over the border into South Carolina and a cache before heading to the Carolina Smokehouse and some delicious pulled pork. From there on to Bridal Veil Falls, Dry Falls, Quarry Falls, and Katie’s Falls with a few more caches along the way. We were back at home and enjoying a light repast and wine by sunset. It’s so much fun sharing the delights of the mountains with others.
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.





Nice stuff…hope to get to some of the same places.
