Today didn’t start out so pretty. Our phones awakened us at 4:21AM with a tornado warning. It didn’t take us long to decide to take shelter. We joined another couple and their dog in the ladies room until the storm abated. Later this morning we called NC DMV about the trailer license tag we lost on our trip across the state. Turns out the easiest way to deal with it is to renew online then to sit tight here for the ten days it may take to get the new tag in the mail. Fortunately the campground has an emergency site we can rent for the duration. Drat! We’re stuck in this lovely place! While we were dealing with that, Steve’s phone decided to go into reset mode and we had to take it to the local Verizon emporium. Fortunately we were able to reset and didn’t lose any data. From there the day just got better. We had a wonderful walk on the beach, got some yummy groceries at the nearby Public, enjoyed a gorgeous sunset from a fishing pier out in the river, and got to hear Linus giggle over the phone! Life is good! 
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.
