It’s been a great weekend with family and friends. Friday afternoon we visited Bud & Cathie and got a tour of the place they now call home. That evening we enjoyed an Italian dinner and lively conversation with Patti, Mark, Mike, and Lynette. Saturday morning we enjoyed an omelet breakfast and some old family memories. That evening was a quiet dinner with Patti, Mark, and Rebecca and a run to Kroges for some Graeter’s. Sunday we celebrated our 400th Geocache find! We capped of this great weekend with a festive dinner at Alice’s where met her friend, Bill. On of the delights of the evening was a visit with Edward and a chance to see some of his recent inventions including his robot eyes!
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.
Mark and I are going to the museum today to see his robot eyes in action. We’ll try to post some pictures later.
