Other than the significant traffic noise from I-75 to our west and US-25 and a busy freight railroad line to our east, this is quite a pleasant campground. The landscaping is delightful. According to our host, it was designed, built, and planted with trees from a Cincinnati nursery in the late 1960’s first as a family getaway. It opened in 1968 as one of the earliest KOA campgrounds but is now affiliated with Good Sam Club. We’ve decided to use this stay as a stay at home time. We ventured out for a short time this afternoon primarily to get some groceries but most of today has been spent sitting and reading or doing genealogical research and working on a draft for a documentary on Karen’s maternal grandmother’s family. Two things really make it possible to do this, really lovely weather and the best wifi we have encountered in a campground in quite a long while.
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.
