For his Fourth Birthday Linus celebrated with a party with friends, a plethora of pies that he helped his Uncle Joel make, Duplo Construction blocks, a faceted crystal that makes rainbows, and a FaceTime chat with grandparents. He was fascinated with the images of the giant trees here in Olympic’s Mora Campground near Forks, Washington. He especially loved the experience of walking through a hole in a tree on Site#18 just across the road from us. We were tickled at the technology that that enabled us to be in a no hookups site on the other side of the country and be able to carry on a video conversation with this delightful little person and his Dad!
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.
