This evening we got to enjoy the company Riley of Riley. We dined with her at Jasmine, one of her favorite local restaurants. We relied on her suggestions and the three of us shared the Sweet and Sour Chicken and the Jasmine Special Shrimp Fried Rice with Fried Cheesecake for dessert. We introduced her to geocaching as we found a cache in the restaurant parking lot. After her busy day of dance, she was game after dinner to head for home and play some games with us. Perhaps the most fun of the evening was a rousing game of War during which she was dubbed the Queen of Aces. After the dancing couple returned there were a few rounds of dominoes and a viewing of the latest episode of Tiny House Nation followed by some interesting discussion. Then a big group hug to tide us all over until tomorrow morning!
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.
