West Virginia is along our route today as we trek north for a quick visit to Ohio to watch granddaughters dance this weekend. As always we were marveling at the landscape and this time really delighted in the Redbud trees blooming at the edge of the woods all along I-77. And as always we talked about taking time to explore the state. Just before leaving the state we stopped at the WV Welcome Center at Williamsburg near Parkersburg. Outside we checked out the West Virginia Fallen Worker Memorial We’ve always found welcome centers a great place to begin exploring a region and vow to check one out when we begin an extended visit to The Mountain State.
Sue and I ventured down to Nags Head, camping at Oregon Inlet NSeashore. In Reston VA for a few days and have been enjoying Spring. They have had snow back in Holland, MI while we have been enjoying temps in the 70’s. We’ll be in Ohio as well later this week. Put a new MaxxAir fan in our 320 and really enjoying it.
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.
