We arrived here in St Petersburg early yesterday afternoon to reclaim our property after a great visit with Ed & Jane over lunch. Dinner time found us savoring an incredible meal with Michael, Cathy, Matt, Em, and Cathy’s niece. We slept in the T@B in Susan’s backyard and enjoyed breakfast with her. Mass at St Paul’s was an opportunity for hugs from many good friends. Midday we moved the T@B to Vivian’s driveway and spent the afternoon unpacking from the cruise, doing laundry, putting stuff away, and helping Viv get ready for company. Now it’s time to sit down to enjoy a some homemade chili, Super Bowl 50, and Vivian’s first party in her new home! It’s feeling good getting back to our little home.
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.
