In July of last year we fell in love with Caffe Zia Gianna in Dorchester, Massachusetts. We returned this morning and were delighted not only that the food was just as delicious and the service just as friendly as we remembered, but that Nino remembered us as the folks who travel in a teardrop trailer but who have family in the area. We created a little bit of a friendly stir when we posed for pictures and bantered with Nino and John. Zia Gianna’s is definitely a friendly neighborhood kind of place where you can get good eats and fabulous coffees while being treated like a friend. It’d be fun sometime to check out their cocktails and maybe enjoy one of their Thursday dinners.
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.
