Today was a day for remembering and celebrating a very special person. Steve’s Aunt Vi has been a constant and positive influence on him for his entire life. She and Uncle Neil were married just one month after his return from World War II more than seventy-one years ago. Her children and grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and friends gathered to comfort Neil and to honor Vi. It was an opportunity to refresh some of our family connections and to tell stories. We were able to contribute a bit with some memories of Aunt Vi and other stories thanks our visits with the two of them through the years.
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.
