Awake: 6:11am Temp 42 sleep 6+22 mostly sunny overnight @ Fayetteville, AR.
After a late breakfast & reading some interesting facts about Fayetteville such as: the nations 7th best city in which to live, work & play; # 3 for wages & salaries growth over the past five years; # 12 for economic development hot spots & among the coolest college towns in the nation, combining progressive living with a close-knit community, etc, etc., we had to see more of Fayetteville.
On our way downtown, we stopped @ the campground office & signed up for another night's stay. Then we drove a grid tour for about (20) min, including a drive-by of the huge University of Arkansas Campus; very impressive.
The main part of Fayetteville is located on a hill & on the other side of town is the University, also on a hill, with a slight valley in between. After parking @ the town square, we visited the Visitors Center & followed a pamphlet guide for an historic walking tour of the downtown area.
Out of (26) historic buildings to see & read about, we covered (17) of them; & from what we've seen, this city is everything they say it is. We can certainly say, we got to see this city!
En route to our campground, we stopped @ the American Restaurant Equipment Co. & checked out their wares; we were just looking with no ideas of anything to purchase. Just as we were about to leave, I spotted a squeegee with a sturdy handle that I thought might help in the washing of our coach; sold to the happy buyer.
My 1st cousin Florentz called from the Indiana (PA) hospital; his wife, Anna, fell down some of the basement stairs at their house earlier today & broke her hip. She will probably undergo surgery tomorrow. Our prayers will go out for her speedy & comfortable recovery.
Dinner: Tilapia fish, broccoli, sugar snap peas, brown & wild rice & a Caesar salad.
Evening movie: "Jules & Jim" with Jeanne Moreau, Oskar Werner, Henri Serre, Marie Dubois, Vanna Urbino, etc. Truffat's memorable tale of (3) people in love, & how the yrs affect their interrelationships; a film of rare beauty & charm. 1961. What made this movie & story even more delicious was: it's in French with English subtitles. Kathy does not like movies with subtitles; she can't follow the story as well when napping. But this time, she did good because this story was a doozie! Recommended for adults over-60!
Lights out: 11:58pm
