CJ and Phil suggested we rendezvous at the Fountain Square Mall in downtown Bloomington. After an initial round of hugs we headed to The Irish Lion, a restored 1882 tavern where we visited over a round of libations and a couple of small plates before moving on to BluBoy for desserts and decaf coffees and teas. They have lived here now for about fourteen months and really seem to relish all that Bloomington has to offer.
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.
You both look wonderful!!!
