Two days ago neither one of us had a burning desire to throw a pair of old shoes into a tree in the middle of the woods in Milltown IN, but after doing so today, it feels like we have accomplished a bucket list item. As we were leaving Bloomington yesterday we checked our Roadside America app. The Legendary Shoe Tree in Crawford County appealed to us since we were traveling with a pair of shoes that Steve had just replaced. So today as we left our campsite at Buffalo Trace we set our GPS for the shoe tree coordinates. Half an hour later we were slinging a pair of well worn Merrells onto a limb and logging our find in the nearby geocache. By our rules we are now qualified to place an Indiana sticker on the new map we plan to get and put on the side of our new camper. The adventure has commenced!
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.
Today’s safari adventure transported us out into the Dorob National Park to have up close encounters with little creatures that are well adapted to the extreme heat and lack of water in the Namib Desert.
With a UNESCO World Heritage Site, two national parks, dozens of museums, and hundreds of tours offered in the Cape Town area there is more than plenty to do. For our two day visit we opted to concentrate on African wildlife visiting the Aquila Private Game Reserve and the Boulders Beach Penguin Colony for a wonderful chance to these fabulous animals in their own habitat.
