It’s just started snowing! The Winter Weather Advisory says we could get up to two inches but we don’t believe it. And if we do it will be washed away by the rain that’s predicted for this afternoon. Nonetheless we’ve got plans to stay in today and continue work on our massive digitizing project with a view of the bare winter landscape from our deck and windows. Tomorrow afternoon is supposed to be sunny and warm, just right for going out and about on errands and enjoying the sight of the the daffodils and Bradford pear trees in bloom and celebrating the coming of Spring!
We did, indeed! And there are good opportunities here also. While it was snowing all day, though not sticking, we headed out to the hot tub for a soak amid snowflakes falling!
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.
Glad to see you back online. Hope you had plenty of fun in the sun and were able to fully relax.
