Lynne and Mary spent last weekend at Tween Creeks enjoying the house and environs. This evening they were both free for an impromptu dinner party at Winton Woods. We fixed a pork roast in the Cuisinart Oven, Lynne brought vegetables from both the Jackson County NC and Blue Ash OH Farmers Markets. Mary provided a delicious Merlot and dessert- Graeter’s Black Raspberry Chip and some delicious looking pastries for which no one had any room. Hope someone will be able to help us eat them tomorrow! About the time we were finished Brian arrived for some nighttime photography and conversation around our Campfire in a Can. A most convivial evening!
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.
