We Found The Little Rock!

pretty pit stop in the Ozarks

Atmospheric Perspective!

We left Branson at nine, and began our four hour drive to Little Rock, Arkansas. We took the scenic route, and stopped a couple times to check out the view. My general ignorance about U.S. geography allows me to be surprised when we get to drive through scenic mountains like we did today.

CARPOOL/HYBRID PARKING

When we arrived in Little Rock, our first stop was the Clinton Library/Museum. We saw an interesting movie and a lot of cool displays, and learned quite a bit about "Socks" the Clinton family cat. They also had a very interesting gift shop. Afterwards, we went on a miniature walking tour, where we saw the rock after which Little Rock was named, and got a nice view of the city from a tall foot bridge. There were also a lot of interesting stands around town, one which was offering ear piercings... needless to say, Mara had to get one. We also visited the Heifer International Global Village and had a brief tour, we were too late to tour their very cool green building, but we did score an awesome parking spot. They should have priority parking like this everywhere.  

Sara and a bunch of talking fish

For dinner we went to a restaurant called The Flying Fish which had "a lot of character."  Our hotel had terrible internet connections, so this post is being completed one day late.  Also, the room next to ours had an alarm clock go off and stay on, at about 1:30am.  It made for not the best night's sleep, at least of one of us....
