Hot Springs, Arkansas

We're in Hot Springs AR! An unplanned stop, but is really interesting. Lots of touristy stuff to do. BTW, I saw Jesus just now (see photo). Ok, it wasn't Jesus, it was Kevin. No organization or church or request for money. Just handing out cards with the gospel on them. Oh, and Kevin's cross had a wheel on the bottom!

We visited one of the old bath houses (just one preserved like a museum, not a working one). also a wax museum - it was pitiful. Took a Duck ride like the ones in Austin. Drinking free wine and beer now at the Embassy Suites Manager's Reception. Tomorrow we plan to visit their botanical gardens - supposed to be one of the best anywhere; and a big tower that has a great view.

We spent a great day with friends Ken and Kathleen Harrison. They gave us the grand tour of the area. It is beautiful country, with tall trees, clear lakes and rivers and long views. Their 5 acre lot is spectacular and I can understand their eagerness to build there. We ended the day with fine dining at Red Apple Country Club, over looking the lake.

Didn't do much today. Drove to Little Rock, went to the zoo, free happy hour at the hotel, hot tub, room service. Tomorrow we'll go to Ken & Kathleen Harrison's house - old friend from IBM & church who moved up here a couple of years ago.
