My Blogging Status Update

After my husband died at the end of 2012 I decided to take a year out and travel as much as possible; so from March 2013 to April 2014 I travelled and I blogged about my every experience. I travelled as a singleton on some trips and with my wonderful friends, Sandra and Sue, on other trips. I went to Barbados, Majorca, South America and Borneo on overseas trips and Felixstowe, Southwold, the Gower Peninsular, the Brecon Beacons National Park, the Isle of Wight, Cambridge, Elveden Centre Parcs, Chichester, Lewes, Blackburn and Chester in the U.K. I tried to keep myself busy and I think I succeeded because I had the most amazing year and I loved blogging.  www.mysagariangapyear.blogspot.com 

Since April 2014 I continued to travel, but not quite so much, but I gave up the Blog. I have been to Isreal and done the Holy Land experience, I danced Merengue and Bachata in The Dominican Republic, I have lived with my Spanish friend, Angelica, in Madrid and have visited friends in Anglesey, Newent, Henlow and Windsor.  I have spent a lot of wonderful time with family in Aldeburgh and I have also been on an amazing Salsa weekend to Eastbourne. 

Over the past few weeks some of my friends have asked me if I am going to write a blog when I'm in Africa so I have decided it is time to reinstate the Blog for, what I hope will be, a very special trip.

The lovely thing about writing a blog is that in years to come you can look back at it and remember with such clarity everything you did. I read 'My Sagarian Gap Year' last week and I absolutely loved it and it brought back such fantastic memories so let's hope when I look back at 'Lynn and Sue in Africa' the memories are as good.

I continue to want to dance with the indigenous people in as many different countries as possible. My biggest claim to fame is that I danced the Tango with the locals in Buenos Aires, but I have also danced the Samba in Rio de Janerio, Bachata and Merengue in the Dominican Republic, Salsa in Madrid, Salsa in Cuba, and the Eagle Dance in Borneo (don't ask!!).  If I can do a bit of African Dance or if I can Salsa when I am in Cape Town and capture it on video then I will be extremely happy and it will be my quest to get it onto the Blog so watch this space. 

Here is a photo guaranteed to make you laugh out loud.  Sue and I dancing the Samba in the Samba Drome in Rio de Janerio.  Nuts or what!!
