It was an incredible visit with George and Dolores. It’s a friendship that goes back to our college days at St Petersburg Junior College and the University of South Florida Engineering. All four of us were charter members of the SPJC chapter of the Newman Club. George and Steve were roommates and fellow engineering students at USF. Today we were the first visitors to the lovely townhouse they recently purchased In Vancouver, Washington. Although visits have been few over the years, the friendship is strong, the conversation easy. We enjoyed excellent wine and fabulous food, but most of all we relished a strong connection!
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.
