We watched the 1943 Bing Crosby film, “Going My Way”this evening. Through the years it has been one of our seasonal traditions. Always in the days following Thanksgiving we watch this heartwarming film set in WWII era New York City. In the days and weeks to come we’ll savor other seasonal favorites but its always nice to start the season with a Bing Crosby flick. It’s a family tradition!
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.
Now on to “Bells of St. Mary’s”!
Indeed! Did you ever notice on in “It’s a Wonderful Life” that the theater is showing “Bells of St Mary’s”?
Just watched From Here to Eternity…not quite holiday, but appropriate for December 7.
On December 7th we watched “Tora! Tora! Tora!”
