With family members back into their routines and Joel on a bus home to Maine, we ventured into Boston. We noshed on New England Clam Chowder at Atlantic Fish then sought a fix for an iPhone that quits unexpectedly and got a warranty replacement! We found a cleverly hidden geocache, got lost in Prudential Place, and got a yummy dessert and coffee at the Newsfeed Cafe in the lobby of the Boston Public Library before making our way back to the house for a pork chops and sautéed apples and onions for dinner with Rachel, Greg, and Linus.
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.

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.
