Our version of New Year’s resolutions is to live New Year’s Day deliberately in the belief that what we do on that day, we will do all year long. So yesterday we danced, enjoyed libations, spent time with family and friends, finished a knitting project and gifted it, were helped a friend, we laughed, we enjoyed good food, and more. Perhaps the magic can continue into today for more dancing, more friends, making plans, and enjoying life! May your New Year hold much promise!
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.




A bright and shiny new year, the perfect blank canvas on which to write all the joy and happiness yet to be experienced!
