We visited the small town of Hot Springs - the spa of America. This was the only place on this trip that I knew nothing about, before I went there. So, I was expecting something similar to Yellostone (I have been there several times and love the place) with hot springs and Geysers. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. The town has several historical bath-houses and spas that use the hot spring water from the surrounding mountains. I apologize to the fans of bathing out there, but the idea of spending an entire day looking at old bath-houses doesn't fascinate me. However, all was not lost. One good aspect of this place was that President Bill Clinton spent some part of his youth here and they had some pretty interesting facts from his life on a video in one of the observation towers.Thursday, December 4, 2008
