Russellville, AR





















We're still in AR! North of Hot Springs. We'll be here just tonight then onward to OK. We crossed both the Mississippi River and the Arkansas River in one day. Both brownish but impressive in size. The spas in Hot Springs were interesting. They still have a bath house that offers baths and a massage. We did a tour of one, hard to imagine how popular these were in the day. There is a very tall ovservation tower that we went up in, can see all over the city great view of the mountains. Ate at McClard's BBQ, a favorite of Bill Clinton and had the waitress he always requests. Did a luncheon cruise on Lake Hamilton, a man made lake that is 14 miles long. It has two dams, one on either end. The humidity has broken, it is still quite warm probably around 90 as I type this. This is just a short stop. We did some house work and laundry (are you happy Sara?) not an exciting day but necessary. As promised we'll post some pictures.

LOL. Have no idea why I find your laundry so fascinating! Probably b/c I spill on myself *every* meal...
