Hot Springs AR

Crater of Diamonds State Park AR
Kay and I spent 4 days in Hot Springs Arkansas.  I had never been to AR. Our first day we spent the WHOLE day at Crater of Diamonds State Park Kay (professional ditch digger) dug a gigantic hole and I spent my time sifting and making trips to anywhere but in the sun.  We went into Little Rock and
Central High School tour
 went on a tour of Central High School where they tried to integrate blacks into the schools and it made National News.   President Clinton Library, Heifer company, Little Rock Museum,  Old Mill (in the film Gone with the Wind)

drinking fountain in Hot Springs AR, it is  hot water
1920's Buckhorn Bath

All done with my bath,lofa scrub, massage, hot towel treatment, needle shower and sitz.... ready to take on the world!
The bikers invade Hot Springs for the weekend.  We met a past student of Pete's (Kay's science teacher brother) who was at the "legalize Marajuana table..... we went there for the free candy and boy do we feel good (kidding)  Kay was looking for the brownies.
In Hot Springs we visited the Hot Springs National Park, got deluxe baths and massages, took a stroll around town and watched the bikers as they gathered for a biker event. We will watch their parade tonight.
