Linus awakened this morning to the surprise of more house guests! Ed and Jane arrived last evening for an impromptu visit. A Happy Mother’s Day text message led to the realization that we and they were all in New England and they modified their plans to make a stop in Boston on their trip from New Haven to Burlington. By accepting Greg and Rachel’s gracious offer of overnight accommodations, they got to visit with Linus in the morning and even made a video to help him remember them between visits!
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.
