CJ and Phil have been making Bloomington, Indiana their home for four years now and have developed some agreeable routines. Saturday morning usually finds them perusing the Farmers Market usually with a first stop at Muddy Fork for delectable croissants and other fabulous baked goods. Today that included some amazing Soft Pretzels. We also snagged some cherry tomatoes, Amish yogurt and cheeses, and some Asian Pears before heading on to the next phase of Saturday routine at Function Brewing. A stop at Global Gifts and at Goods for Cooks and the four of us were ready to return to the house for naps, conversation, and a chance to play with the cats who have grown so much since our last visit!
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.
