From frontier community to logging town to artists colony to tourist destination, Nashville in Brown County Indiana seemed a good place to just hang out for a day with CJ. She was interested in checking out some of the shops that carry yarn since the two local yarn shops in Bloomington have folded. Together we poked around town. We started the experience with a sandwich and caffeine boost at The Daily Grind before poking around various gift shops. The Clay Purl had some lovely yarns and CJ left with a couple of skeins. Later in the afternoon Phil joined us as we poked around in the Moonshine Leather shop. After ice cream at The Chocolate Moose and some great pizza and beer at Big Woods Pizza we all declared it a successful day. We headed back to Brown County State Park and they made their way back to Bloomington with plans get together in the morning.
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.
