Lynne showed up at our house last month with two cartons of Graeter’s. The Cherry Chocolate Chip was classic Graeter’s goodness but the Bourbon Chocolate Chip was extraordinary. On the way home today we stopped at Graeter’s in Finneytown and we each indulged in a Bourbon Chocolate Chip Brownie Hot Fudge Sunday. Thanks, Lynne!
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.
Those look very dangerous . . .
Excuse me? I just brought down a simple pint of the bourbon pecan ice cream. Don’t blame me for that yummy snack stop.
