Yes, the infamous polar vortex has arrived and brought unseasonable freezing temperatures. Yesterday started out at 19 degrees and got all the way up to 25 degrees! We had no need to leave home but did venture out to work on outfitting the new camper with gear we’d stored in the house after we’d removed it from our original T@B, before we returned it to Ohio. This morning as we head out to an appointment the thermometer reads 10 degrees! That’s the kind of weather we get in January, not November! But we count ourselves fortunate that the rain ended before the cold set in thus our roads are good and now the skies are clear. It’s going to be a beautiful day!
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.
Look at the lovely icy patterns Mother Nature left on your windshield. Still, glad that you and the roads are safe!
