It’s a small burg in the middle of Indiana that’s notable for some outstanding architecture. Today we just buzzed through on our way from Bloomington to Cincinnati but noticed some great examples of public art, a glass dome atop the county jail and other picturesque buildings. We sent a message to a friend who grew up here and also reminisced about our stop here in September 2008 when we discovered that they had a Chihuly chandelier in the stairwell of the public library. That time we were on our way from Winton Woods. This time we’re headed to our Cincinnati area home!
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.
