For those of us that travel by the seats of our pants, weekends in high season present a challenge. We try to identify campgrounds that might be less popular and to arrive early in the afternoon. Today we headed west from Newhalem, stopped at the Cascadian Farm Produce Stand for Raspberry Chip Ice Cream, coffee, vine ripened cherry tomatoes, and fresh sweet corn out in the middle of some gorgeous farm fields. Took the opportunity to call Elsie to order a couple of things for the T@B and chatted pleasantly for a bit. She requested more scenery pictures! We made our way to Sedro-Woolley’s Riverfront RV Park and got Site #19 for one night. If the place had shade we’d consider staying longer. But it gave us the opportunity to retreat into the air conditioned T@B for a siesta before venturing into downtown for Cherry Pie ala Mode, admiring the street art, and grabbing a Geocache smiley.


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.
