This morning we hugged and kissed our grandsons and their parents and left them to settle into their new normalcy while we headed to northwestern Connecticut. This evening we joined Ben & Lynda for a dinner at The Delaney House in Holyoke MA to celebrate the arrival of our newest mutual grandson. It was a great meal, especially with their signature popovers! We enjoy every chance we get to visit with these long term friends of ours, but the chance to celebrate a new arrival is particularly sweet.
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.

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.
