We spent a lovely day in Little Rock, Arkansas today - toured President Clinton's Library and rode our bikes around the park like grounds, along the Arkansas River and then down by the River Market - an area revitalized with shops, restaurants and a farmer's market near the library. The library is a beautiful contemporary building with replicas of the his oval office and cabinet room and very well done displays highlighting his accomplishments as President - the CHIP program (Children's Health Insurance Plan,) FMLA and the Brady Bill to name a few I favored. Enjoyed wine & a beer at a microbrewery along the way. Heading into Texas tomorrow. Watching hurricane "Ike" closely - hoping he won't ruin our plans to go to the Galveston beach next week-end! People at the campground here in Little Rock say Gustav's rain and wind was really bad and if "Ike" comes anywhere near here they are moving inward!
