It’s a Deck Day Prep Party. Deck Day Regulars arrive from out of town ahead of the official date of Deck Day and stay after wih the knowledge and expectation that they will participate in prep and clean up as well as party. We alternate between periods of sitting and visiting and periods of cooking, cleaning, and set up. Of course there’s plenty of food and libation to fuel the activity. We’ve got ribs cooking, a turkey smoking, bacon sizzling, pasta salad assembling, herb planting, and much more. A party to get ready for the party!
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.
