On our second day, we went to Hot Springs.
It was 20 mins from the cabin, and famous for the Bath Houses row.
This time we got to tour the Information Center, which was a big bath house.
It was so interesting to go thru the entire process, visiting each room
from hot tub, to cooling area, changing area and relaxing area.
Anh Viet-Anh particularly impressed with the gym, very advance considering its time.
I wanted to go it, but they stopped me. Anh Viet-Anh was too protective, pushing me
around every where.
The bros scared of the hot tub so they were backing out the bath house experience last min-
sigh, Mom was pretty upset, sending them to get hot springs water instead :-)
It was to hot to do any hiking hence
this time we drove the car on the Hot Springs Reserve drive, up to the Tower,
get souvenirs then drove to the West Mountain Area.
On the way down, after getting some info from visitor center,
we did a Clinton tour. In case you didn't know, Hot Springs was Clinton home town :-)
We first spotted the church where he we baptized,
(What is baptized :-)) - that was the question :-))
then he birth house (even thou a sign posted there said no tour,
but the house also have a big sign
with the street number for tourists' convenient :-))
While visiting a whole bunch of his hang out places, we got to a treat shop,
which now woned by a Vietnamese family, whom told us their life story
which Anh & Quan may remember better than Clinton's life story :-)
Walmart is every where. We stopped by Walmart to
pickup food the the next boating day, there is only 1 walmart for the whole region,
imagening the q- sigh It was good to have the bros to entertain me.
Too lazy to cook, we got BBQ from Clinton's favourte restaurant (was and still is)
just down the street (it was good according to the growups, btw)-
Deciding taking on the scenic round home, we forgot to fuel our car up.
We got lost in the mountain, skip a turn, was so happy to see a gas station finally
- you learn to appreciate civilization here.
And Mom ran out of milk for me, I was so hungry.
Relief to get home, went swiming abit, then
Mom got the cabin all clean up & food is on the table.
