These last many weeks we have totally immersed ourselves into digitizing family history. Relatives actively support our role of self appointed family historians by gifting us with all the old family photos and documents but it is our dads’ prodigious slide collections that are driving us totally crazy right now. We had them professionally scanned but now we’re having to manually transfer names, date, place, and event information as well as organize the files logically into Dropbox folders so we can find them again to enjoy and to share the memories.
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.
