In business in the same building for 98 years and in operation at the same location on State Street in St Ignace, Michigan since 1940, this “Best L’il Diner on the Straits” is a gem. Looking for a cup of coffee and a treat, we never even looked at the inside of the menu because the pie offerings were posted on a whiteboard. Steve chose Blueberry Rhubarb and our server suggested Karen try Fruit of the Forest, a mixed berry pie that reminded us of a great piece of pie we got in Custer. The ambiance, the service, and the pies were all superb! Thanks, Francie at the museum, for suggesting this great place!
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.
Yum!!
I can’t wait to head out after full retirement! You two continue to inspire! Best buds to share mud puddles again anytime!
