After setting up on Site 23 at Indiana’s Paynetown SRA, we joined CJ and Phil in Bloomington for a visit that started off on the front porch of the century old house they call home. After a delicious dinner at Upland Brewery (a. Best Fish & Chips in Bloomington, b. Great microbrews, and c. Open on a Monday night in summer) we returned to the house where we thrilled Phil with our Bose surround sound system and unleashed a flood of memories for CJ with a box of memorabilia. Her baby shoes, a college paper, several report cards, the book The Story of Ferdinand, and more. The biggest smiles came when she found The Tiger Handbook, an club manual authored by her and Greg!
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.
Love the smile on her face as she’s enjoying her time travel! Hugs CJ !
