Hot Springs

We got a rude awakening this morning when barely out of bed, a text message that asked us if we just charged $57 at a gas station in Virginia.  Nooo!  Quickly we got that resolved and will have new account by Monday.  Sure am glad these credit card companies are on the ball!  Also, glad this is happening at the end of our trip as that credit card has lots of charges on it that convert to Southwest Airline points and I need a free trip to .....

Heading home, but taking it easy.  Drove through Arkansas today & staying at Texarkana, Arkansas.  Stopped at Hot Springs, AR, the boyhood home of Bill Clinton.  The Hot Springs National Park is very unique, in that a row of bathhouses have been designated a National Park for years (18th park designated as such).   Hot springs have been used for years and it became a very popular spot for people to come for healing.  The visitor center had a tour of an old bathhouse. 

All the bathhouses were very sophisticated and ornate.

Here's some photos of the inside of a bathhouse.

They even had Tiffany glass works in windows and skylight.

After our tours, we went to an observation tower on the hill overlooking Hot Springs.  

It was very overcast, but got a shot or two of the Arkansas hills.

Tomorrow, it's back to TEXAS!
