It was our good fortune to be in Bloomington on this beautiful Saturday, the day of Bloomington’s annual Handmade Market, a street fair on Kirkwood Avenue. We had a delightful time poking through various booths helping CJ & Phil scout out alien themed trinkets for a project they are pursuing right now and finding a lovely small piece of pottery at the Sky & Earth Studio that can easily travel cross country with us in our little trailer. We loved chatting with Jason and Rhonda and admiring her work. After a bit we four all declared a desire to find an indoor space where we could break our fast. We were soon ensconced in a booth at Amrit India where we delighted in the Butter Chicken and Goat Curry dishes they served up. We’re always amazed at the wonderful adventures that CJ & Phil lead us on when we visit Bloomington.
You two amaze me with every post (No, I haven’t read them all because I am certain that it would be like reading a joke book or a book of poems all in one fell swoop). I am pleased to just chip away, as time allows and let my enjoyment rise up to meet the day. Thank you,

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.
