Saturday. Both girls have dance lessons but Peyton finished by 10 AM and was home by the time we arrived at the house. She, her Dad, and her grandparents have spent the last few hours playing games. Pass the Pigs. Peyton was scorekeeper! Then Dominoes. (We had to read the rules because none of us had actually played the game before although some of us have spent happy hours playing with domino tiles.) Followed by Go Fish then War. It really got rousing when we played four way War with four decks! Ultimately we ended up declaring Peyton the winner based on the height of her stack when we ran out of time. Now she and her Dad are on their way to pick up Riley then go get Peyton’s hair ready for her big date tonight while we grandparents rest up for tonight’s date with Riley. A fun note is that Peyton couldn’t find a top with a button front so she chose to wear the forty year old heirloom blue plaid flannel shirt that her Nana sewed for her Grandpop!
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.
