It’s hard to believe that
three weeks have passed and that we have left Africa behind to cross the
Atlantic. Our last stop was Cape Verde, which sits about 350 miles off the
coast of Africa. This was one of those unexpected jewels. It looks more
Caribbean than African; and It’s culture is Creole Portuguese-African.
A visit to the local fish
and vegetable markets were topped off at a cultural center where we viewed the
native art and enjoyed the music and dancing along with a taste of the local
drink.
