In Hot Springs, Arkansas staying at the B Inn which is being refurbished into quirky themed little apartments with interesting furnishings. We are in the Literature room complete with comfy lounges in the lounge room, bookshelves with books in the dining room and reading material with extra seating in the bedroom. It is affiliated with a great little organic cafe next door where, as part of the accommodation deal, I got to have a gluten free bagel with cream cheese for breakfast - certainly gets two thumbs up from me!

Today was a couple of miles walk in the national park, a visit to the Gangster museum to learn the shadier history of the town, and then all afternoon at the Buckstaff bath house to experience an afternoon of bathing and massaging just like they have been doing for a hundred years. Well....it was storming outside so what else is a girl to do :-)

Back on the road tomorrow.
