Second Sunday is the afternoon the Smoky Mountain Knitting Guild gathers in Waynesville. Today Judi did a great presentation on color choices in fiber projects. What was fun was that although she talked some color theory and use of the color wheel for those of us who are left-brained, she also presented some great techniques for those of us who are right-brained including a hands-on exercise involving a table full of balls of variously colored yarns. Then came the delight of reconnecting with Judi. She and Karen had both been at a Deborah Chandler weaving workshop in Clearwater several years ago!
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.
