La Quinta Motor Inn Little Rock West

... last ride thru because my motel is 5 mi south of I-40. The motel seems to have little on the city itself so I will peruse my guide book and see what else is noteworthy besides the Clinton Library. I got all excited that there was a barbecue place beside the motel, until I realized it was abandoned.

... privileged kids that get to do this interesting educational program. Andy and I learned from eating lunch with about a dozen ranch volunteers that more than not the kids learn a lot and grow from the experience. Others learn nothing and are just glad to be done! They hope that somewhere in each one of the kids a spark is lit for helping others less fortunate than themselves as they go through their lives. Some come back and become ...

I made it back home after about three months of travel. I really enjoyed my trip, but it was good to be able to get home and relax and not have to worry about getting to the next town or finding a place to stay, and having space for my stuff and getting home-cooked meals is even better. My little brother took over my room, though, so now I'm in his for the length of time I stay at my parent's house. It's time to start ...

... after Little Rock we had a long 5 hour drive to Oklahoma City. We arrived around nine oclock and the girls jumped into the pool. Small things please us a great deal on this trip and room with a fridge and microwave make us very happy it means we can keep milk cold and warm it up very quickly in the morning. Ok so in Oklahoma I went to sleep, and Debbie went into the bar to sing a little Kareoke. We woke up the next morning ...

... even did a little singing for our car, about heading east bound, the song was a little out dated but we forgive them anyways. Their coaching skills make-up for it.

... and had dinner at Blues City Cafe. As we were headed out there were 2 other co-workers, Shawna and Tony from MN, having dinner there too, super coincidence. So we all headed out after dinner down Beale St stopped at shops, bars, etc. We stopped at the Beale Street Tap Room where Billy Bob Thornton was playing the drums with a local band. After this Amy, Naomi, Cheryl, and I had a night cap at The Peabody. I slept really good this night.

... community and knows her way around wherever she wants to be. I've probably told you the story of the night I met Dottie and her traveling companion, Laurence Hall of Memphis, at the big table in the back of the 420 Café early in December 2003. The month before I had just determined to move to Amsterdam and try to establish a base there, but I was operating strictly without a safety net and certainly without any sort of housing budget, living on the largesse ...

... fantastic. Ed and I did a little bit of shopping before leaving the downtown/National Park area, and then took the truck and headed up to the mountaintop viewing tower. Already perched atop a mountain, the tower afforded views of the surrounding 50 miles or so. It was beautiful, but my fear of heights (which deepens as I get older) inspired me to hang onto the rail every second we were up there. Back on solid ground, but still at the top of the mountain, we exited through the ...
