Said goodbye to Greg early this morning as he was going
golfing. Betty made us delicious
blueberry, cream cheese stuffed French toast, fruit and coffee before sending
us on our way. Hopefully they will take
a cruise to Alaska and stay with us on their way up. Amazingly nice people. We love our travel club!
Drove to Eureka Springs and walked around
this old, lovely town full of shops, and history. There are many natural springs here, so
people used to come for healing. It
would be a great girls weekend town. We had some coffee and a cookie in
town. We could have spent more time here
but had a distance to travel.
Stopped in a
small town as they were selling peaches.
I foolishly thought they would be local.
Instead they were from Washington!
Too hard, so we didn’t get any.
Also stopped at this antique store and chainsaw carving place to take
pictures of the red Razorbacks.
Sooooey!
Drove to Gilbert, a tiny
town on the Buffalo National River and waded and walked through the very low
river. It is the only National river in the entire USA, protected by the National Park Service. When the water is higher, people enjoy canoeing and kayaking the river.
. Arrived in Damascus just before 4 and are
staying with Gloria, another amazing Affordable Travel person. She lives on 82 acres of forested land in a
beautiful house. Very beautiful and
quiet. She had made bread and cookies
and offered wine. We drove to a little
restaurant about 12 miles away and had steak for Jack and an amazing BBQ pork
sandwich for Jodi. They smoke their own
meat. Yum, but I simply have to stop
eating the French Fries! Oh my, I will gain 10
pounds by the time I get to Texas or maybe before.
Tropical storm Isaac brewing around Haiti.
