It’s a glorious day in Texas! We took the opportunity presented by a pause in extended family activities to spend some time with our sons. We started the outing with a trip to Red Barn BBQ. We both had falling off the bone baby pack ribs and got tastes of the wings and the smoked brisket. Yum! It was delicious! Then we headed to the park, found a couple of geocaches, walked the Tara Trail, played on the play equipment, and delighted in a light hearted afternoon. We are truly enjoying these moments together.
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.
