We spent some time this morning enjoying the view from under our awning while savoring our first cuppa. This is a pretty county park campground near Cannon Falls, MN. While we were cooking breakfast we were absolutely delighted to get a phone call from Fr Jim. We’ve gotten to know him these several months as he has ministered to an extemporaneous group of Catholics in WNC. He’d not seen us for several weeks and called to find out if we were doing okay. It was a wonderful conversation!
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.
