... us it was just a quick visit to this beautiful area, it sometimes feels like their just isn't enough time (Bek always feels like there always isn't enough time when it comes to hot springs), and we had a fabulously relaxing time. Next we are heading to Tennessee and the home of the king.<br><br>We hope you are all well, and for those Aussies, enjoying the oncoming heat. Thinking of you all, the steamy, Bek and Jesse Train.<br>

... into the field I started to realize the field was much like clay, shoes were sticking as I walked and I mentally imagined my shoes were going to get pulled off my feet. They didn't but I could see it happening. We dug and checked out the sluice tables for about an hour. No diamonds were found, I had my rocks and minerals checked to find I had found Jasper, Calcite, and Quartz. I am now going to be looking things up to see mineral and stones found ...

We got into Hot Springs, Arkansas around noon yesterday. From the plane all you see are hills and green. Being from Miami.. that's a lot of green.<br><br>My two great aunts, Mary and Ramonita, were already waiting for us when we landed in the private airport.

We drove through "downtown" and Ramonita started complaining about the ridiculous traffic.. which was like ten cars on the road. I couldn't help but laugh ...

Hot Springs is the bathing capital of the world. Old documents show that American Indians bathed in the hot springs during the late 1700s and early 1800s.

Kinda looks like a cross between a school bus and a boat. The tour was OK and the water ride was fun, however, we are in the country now and Toby did not understand a word the tour guide said.
