Our plan for today’s gathering with Mary & Stan was for two of us to set up our rigid heddle looms and to some weaving while we talked and compared notes on our summer rambles. They spent the month of September exploring various spots in North Carolina! We got so excited about our conversations that we never got to the looms but as the guys were firing up the grill for our dinner the gals put heads together and did the calculations for the warp for a log cabin handwoven scarf!
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.
