In the last few years we have had the distinct pleasure of getting to know Steve’s second cousins Sue and her brother Dick. We have visited Sue in Toledo a few times and she has visited us in at our mountain house. And we’ve visited Dick in Metairie on a couple of occasions. This time we got to visit with both of them together at Dick’s home. It is an honor for us to know these folks and to learn more of our family history from them. They truly enrich our lives. Oh, yes, and the reason why we are all in Metairie this weekend is to celebrate their birthdays. Sue was born on her brother’s 10th Birthday!
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.
