This afternoon we enjoyed tea and scones within view of Griffin’s Wharf, the location of the Boston Tea Party back in 1773. One of the teas offered at Abigail’s Tea Room is Singlo, a green tea that was the variety that was cold steeped in Boston Harbor that night. It was a pleasant interlude in our traipsing around town. Genealogy at the library, lunch on Boylston, then a pleasant stroll through Boston Commons and along Summer Street to the waterfront. May is a such a pleasant time to visit Boston!
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.
