It is always amazing to me what you can see if you look down. I love to look down and study what is growing under my feet. Not only what is growing, but who is roaming around down there. So many things that I would have probably crushed or stepped on and destroyed if I hadn't been paying attention to what was in the vicinity of my feet. Yesterday was a fungus day! I found so many different species of fungi. I am embedded a slideshow of my photos from the day. There are some photos of our stop in Memphis too. I just hope that you will stop and look down and appreciate the fungus, insects and spiders along the way!

When traveling sans children a whole new world opens up to you. There are so many more choices for dinner and activities that we wouldn't do because we wouldn't leave them in the hotel room alone. So, when we checked into our hotel we saw a sign for free transportation into the River Market Area. We got to our room, unloaded our stuff, worked out, cleaned up and then called down to the front desk to see about getting to the River Market. Little Rock is great. For about 8 blocks there are bars, restaurants and cafes all along President Clinton Drive (street lands you in front of the Presidential Museum). We walked up and down the street before choosing a place called Whiskeys, and giving them a chance to feed us. So nice to feel like a grown up and eating dinner in a bar, such a rare event for David and me. A variety of people were in the market area I imagine Friday and Saturday nights are even busier. The food was pretty good, and I tried a bourbon called Gentleman Jack. A departure from my normal crown and soda J.
