A Yelp! reviewer said that besides the Dalton Gang, that the Dalton Museum was also about Shoeless Joe. That was the hook we needed but it turned out to be about a different baseball legend, Walter Johnson, a Baseball Hall of Famer who grew up in Kansas. Despite the false lure we truly enjoyed our visit to this local museum. Besides lots of photos and artifacts, they show an episode of Investigating History that tells the story of the October 5, 1892 defense of Coffeyville, Kansas, by the citizens that rose up against the The Dalton Gang who attempted the robbery of two banks simultaneously. To make it sweeter, we found a geocache located between the location of the two banks! What fun!
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.
