On Lyons Station Road outside of New Haven KY we came face to face with John Deere. Not once but twice. This smaller one certainly takes up more than it’s share of this two lane road but the first one, that we weren’t quick enough to photograph, needed fully three quarters of the pavement and didn’t even slow as it approached us, then without skipping a beat steered right, off the road, giving us clearance and drove on. Of course it brought back memories of our own opportunities to climb inside the cabs of some of the behemoths last year at the John Deere Pavilion in Moline IL.
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.
