We made our way into Boston today. Drove part of the way, parked, and took the “T” into town then, walked the final mile plus to Boston Medical Center. There we and Rachel’s parents had an opportunity for a very brief visit with Rachel before Greg accompanied us to the nursery to meet our grandson! He’s a handsome little man! Then we four grandparents went out on the town in North End and celebrated together raising a glass to our kids and their son!
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.
How exciting for all of you. The photo of Greg and his son is priceless. The emotion in his expression is touching.
