Yummy and fun! It’s the thing to do on a Saturday in the northern part of Ohio’s Stark County, midway between Akron and Canton. It’s Hartville Market, a farmers market, flea market, meat market, gourmet market, antique shop, restaurant, and more. We started off with a bit of lunch in the food court, headed out to the outdoor stalls, drooled over amazing fresh vegetables, watched kiddos browse the bins of Beanie Babies, purchased some chocolate pasta and visited with the shopkeeper at one of the indoor stalls, looked at some wonderful old things, and indulged in a round of ice cream. Remind us to come back sometime when we’re in the market to stock up the fridge and pantry in the T@B-400!
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.







Chocolate pasta?
Don’t count on me to remind you, I’d be too late. I could suggest, “there’s an app for that”, tho’ I have no idea which one of the thousands (millions?) it would be. My flip phone doesn’t do apps.
