One of the high points of Tearstock is always the factory tour. Today we drove to Sugarcreek to do an official tour of the new facility on Belden Parkway. We had a private tour of the empty facility in November and got to go onto the floor to preview the Cirrus truck camper in April but this time Janice, their new HR Director, led us up to the mezzanine where we were able to look down on the three production lines and look at LG/PV units under construction! A visit to the factory always reminds us of our first visit to Sugarcreek in April 2009. when Joe Mullet was building what was to become our Silver Shadow!
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.
