On Friday December 22, 1995 Steve hung up his hard hat and became a Stay at Home Dad while Karen pursued a full time career in pharmacy. Many folks had a problem with our gender bender approach but it worked well for us and we believe our kids have fond memories of those years. Aunt Nancy supported Steve’s position with humor when she gifted him with a cookbook specifically for his situation!
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.
Nice memory. Merry Chrustmas and blessings in the New Year!
