What an incredible opportunity! A friend from Florida visiting her son and his girlfriend in Massachusetts while we were in the area and mutual friends who live on the Massachusetts coast made for a great afternoon visit and delicious meal at The Old Grist Mill Tavern in Seekonk, Massachusetts. This lovely Eighteen Century tavern was in fact rebuilt after a devastating 2012 fire but in a way that totally preserves its historic character. And the food was great. Thanks Arleene, Xander, Ellie, Deb, and Tim for a fun afternoon!
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.
