It’s hard to believe that our decision to spend all of Memorial Day out of doors at home with our kids and friend Gary back in 1992, swimming in the pool, grilling out, playing games, and just relaxing, has turned into an annual gathering of family and friends. These days some folks travel long distances, from Florida, Ohio, Arkansas, Georgia. It has become a annual reunion of friends as well as a feast with many of the same foods on the menu year after year!
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.
