As night was falling over the South Dakota plains we heard a voice call out to us. It was Paul on his bicycle with his trusty canine companion, Marvin. Knowing that Paul had put in a full day of teaching until 9:30PM Sunday and needed to be back in for orientation early Monday morning, we’d promised to not plan on partying late. But we had a delightful evening of conversation swapping family stories and tales of travel. He’s lived and taught many different places around the world and across the country. As we sat in the darkness and talked time slipped away. Finally just before midnight we stepped into the T@B and snapped a selfie to commemorate the moment then hugged one another. With that Paul and Marvin disappeared into the darkness for their short trip home. Hopefully we’ll see them again before too terribly long.
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.
