Today’s goal was to wind up this phase of our Spring project. We collected the slides, photos, albums, and documents that we’ve been scanning and labeling which are destined for the Museum Closet at Karen’s sister’s house. We printed out copies of the family history narrative we’re writing so we can send it to select relatives for review, And we gathered up some 8mm films to send out for conversion to digital. And we got out of the house! We headed to Eagle Pack and Ship on Main Street where we entrusted the packing and shipping to the professionals.
Dakar, Senegal: A Wolof Village & The Pink Lake
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.
