Today we completed our 48th state visit in our T@B since July 2013! Our rule is that at a minimum we must stay overnight and do something fun while in the state. Last night we stayed near Lebanon MO and today we visited the Stonehenge at Rolla, a half-scale replica of the late Neolithic structure in England. This replica was constructed of granite using high pressure water jets on the campus of Missouri University of Science and Technology. It was an impressive experience that really gave us a feel for the astronomical aspects of the design of the original.
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.

Congratulations on #48! I fully expect that during the miles of driving you two have considered adding #’s 49 and 50?
