If you are a fan of Baker’s Chocolate in general or of German’s German’s Chocolate Cake in particular, this is where it all began, on the banks of the Neponset River in Dorchester MA. Established in 1765 as Hannon’s Best Chocolate, Baker’s has been a mainstay of the American culinary scene ever since and was manufactured here until 1965. Today we visited the Chocolate Village with an intent to enjoy dinner with our son at Yellow Door Taqueria but chose instead to dine at the Lower Mills Tavern. Excellent food and drink- try their Pastrami Rachel Sliders! And for us, excellent company too! A memorable evening.
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.
