This afternoon at 1:15PM MDT Megan and Arden are saying their wedding vows in a simple civil ceremony in Santa Fe NM. Although every one of us would dearly love to be at that event, we’re at the Cliffs of Mother looking west across the Atlantic at 8:15 Irish Standard Time thinking of them and toasting them. We made a video of our toast to them that we’ll send to them after they have made tomorrow’s flight to Stuttgart and Arden’s apartment where he is currently stationed. Hopefully this amazing World Heritage Site will be a place the two of them will someday visit and feel our love and warm wishes for them again. It’s gorgeous and windy and chill here as the sun sets. It’s a glorious place to hike and there’s incredible scenery!
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.
