We met up with our mentors, Paul and Mary, again here! Very nice park we are staying at. Steve is happy they sell ice cream at the lodge!

We all toured Hot Springs National Park, which, unlike most parks, is right downtown, and even consists of some of the old bath houses. There are faucets all along the street and you can fill up your containers with either hot or cold spring water. Now all the springs are covered and controlled, so the water stays clean. Lunch at Taco Mama...great chimis!!
We all took in the Baths at Quapaw. While all the others lounged in the 4 heated pools of differing temperatures, Cathy treated herself to a massage and facial. A fabulous time was had by all. A quick look at the rest of the downtown area, and we called it a day. There are some beautiful buildings down here.

We all toured Garvan Gardens, including the Anthony Chapel, and by the time we were through it, we were all pooped! But we persevered, and at Q at the famous McClard's BBQ. Boy were we stuffed when we left there! Then on to a tour of Hot Springs Village, which is another retirement type village like the one in Hardy. Still not convinced that it is for us.
A tour of Lake Catherine State Park, and a final dinner at Colton's Steakhouse was enjoyed by all.
