As we were preparing to depart Tween Creeks the weather report suggested we’d be dealing with coolish temperatures. Maybe some rain but nothing about snow! But here we are in New Philadelphia and white stuff is coming out of the sky. Lucky for us it held off while we enjoyed a delicious dinner with the Fans of Tween Creeks at Elsie and Sarah’s in Sugarcreek. Now we’re hoping that the roads will be passable for our trip to nüCamp tomorrow.
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.
