Along US-400 between Wichita and Dodge City just west of Mullinville, Kansas, our eyes popped. We’d stumbled upon the folk art of Mullinville native M.T.Liggett who passed away in August 2017. His bizarre art is celebrated in Atlas Obscura and Roadside America. Although the majority of his work is clustered here on the prairie, he gained such national fame that his obituary appeared in the New York Times and trustees were appointed to preserve his artwork for the future.
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.
