Typically the day after Deck Day a few friends/family linger to help clean up even as we continue to party. This year the two of us changed things up even as more folks opted to linger a day longer. Karen was a good citizen and left early this morning to appear at the federal courthouse in Asheville for jury duty. As it turns out the defense in this drugs and guns case wasn’t interested in an outspoken pharmacist on the jury so she was free by early afternoon. Steve had to travel to Franklin for an important appointment. Meanwhile our guests participated cleanup, puzzles, and card games until we returned then plied us with food and drink, made music, and danced well into the night! The best Post-Deck Day party ever!
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.
