Karen’s Aunt Nancy was an amazing woman. She and her husband Bob were both important to us in so many ways. She was our partner in genealogical research, assembled amazing family history albums for family members, and organized family reunions. She was the glue that kept the family together. We celebrated her today then laid her to rest beside Uncle Bob and near her parents in Spring Grove. It was incredibly good to be among family today to remember and to renew connections.
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.
My condolences
I am sad for your loss; but it sounds like she leaves an amazing legacy here on Earth. Hugs to all.
