We like this town!

 We visited Eureka Springs last October for an RVW rally and really liked the feel of the town. It is much more "us" than Branson.  It is an eclectic town with lots of funky shops and good restaurants.  It is on our list of possible places to land, if and when we decide to go back to the S&B life.  

So, we were excited to visit again. As we drove into the village, we spotted these ladies  trimming trees in someone's yard. That is my kind of yard crew.  I wonder what they charge? 
By the time we got into the village, we were pretty hungry - so much for investigating new places to eat.  We went with a place we tried last time and really liked, Local Flavor Cafe.

 

The food did not disappoint.  I had a filet and Catherine had chicken smothered in artichokes and mushrooms.  They were both good and we managed to save enough to have another meal.  Since we showed such restraint on our main dishes, we decided to share a dessert. :)

Catherine chose "chocolate decadence."  It was made with bittersweet chocolate and topped with whipped cream. It was not super sweet so I liked it, even though chocolate is not usually my favorite.


No leftovers this time...

 This weekend is the VW Festival here in Eureka Springs.  There are a couple of early arrivals camped here in the campground.

Catherine's family camped in a red pop up, just like this one, when she was a kid.  Although, they did not have an air-conditioner hanging out the driver's window :).  She got a kick out of seeing one again. They are having a parade down the main street on Saturday afternoon. It should be fun.

Today, we plan to explore the surrounding area - Blue Springs and Beaver Lake.  It is supposed to be a bit cooler. 

For all of you in Irene's path, our thoughts are with you.  We lived in Florida 14 years and know the anxiety that being "in the cone" causes.  Baton down those hatches and take cover!

See you down the road...
