Tonight was Opening Night of the 50th Season at the Porthouse Theater in Cuyahoga Falls OH and thanks to Emily we enjoyed front row seats for Anything Goes! It’s a delightful madcap story that first opened on Broadway in November 1934. It’s based on a book by Guy Bolton and P.G. Wodehouse with music by Cole Porter, lots of fabulous dancing, and lavish costumes. We especially enjoyed Hope Harcourt’s blue feathered gown knowing that Emily hand stitched each of those feathers in place. We met up with Emily for a few minutes at the reception at the pavilion then took our leave so she could schmooze with other members of the production company as a good intern should.
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.
