Another cuisine that just can’t be found in Jackson County is Vietnamese, so this unseasonably warm evening Mary & Stan ventured with us to Pho-R-Us on Hendersonville Road. We two were hankering for some of that Vietnamese noodle soup and wanted to introduce our friends to it. We learned a couple things tonight. One is that Pho is not for everyone . Another is that sometimes you have to spice up the soup. We enjoyed it and will likely go back for more when we are in the neighborhood. Curiously Greg & Rachel who introduced us to this great food also had Pho for supper on this cold Boston night!
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.
