A second evening in Bloomington! A second rendezvous at Fountain Square Mall. This time a chance to photograph a fun yarn bomb and the opportunity to dine at Farm Bloomington. Creativity, quality, and local products are hallmarks of this independent eatery. We started with creative cocktails followed by incredible dinner offering and topped off with amazing desserts. Steve’s Brown Russian was concocted with spirits from the local Cardinal Distillery. The Tuesday special we shared was a Meatloaf crafted with not only beef and pork but also bison. Phil enjoyed a delectable Octopus dish. And our dessert was an amazingly moist and delicious Parsnip Cake! Knowing that the two of them would be working particularly long days tomorrow, we walked with them to our truck and got our goodbye hugs there on S College Street. Don’t know if we’ll be able to get in a bonus visit tomorrow. It all depends on how the truck repair goes.
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.
