Naturally, we stopped at Love's Truck Stop in Prescott around noon. We made it to the Library just before 2. Most of us made it through security without making a beep and then it was off to explore two floors of presidential memorabilia. Here's something I found interesting:
Above, Bill Clinton's putters. He putts right handed! (He writes left...)What surprised me the most was the size of the building. It is much larger than it looks in it photographs. Here is the front of the building:
That is some of our group just to the right of the fountain. The building sits on the Arkansas River just downstream from downtown Little Rock. Here are some views from inside the building:
Above is the Arkansas River. The old railroad bridge may soon be converted to pedestrian use, but there are no plans right now.Here is a view upriver towards downtown Little Rock:
After spending a couple of hours at the Library, we walked to the River Market where everyone split up and went to eat. It began to rain just as we left downtown and it rained heavily for much of the trip home. We got back around 10 p.m.
Here are some small groups I took pictures of. I did not get a picture of the entire group. Sorry.
Below are David and one of the Russian exchange students in the Cabinet Room. (LOTS! of backlighting throughout the Library. Makes it hard to get some photos.)
Here are some other small group photos:
Above, Simin, John, Singha, and Nimendra pose for me on the second floor.
Above, Majesta, Sarah, Kristen, and Chris take a break on the river end side of the second floor.
Above, Daniel K., Daniel T., and Amanda pose before walking to the River Market.It was a successful first trip. We'll return to Little Rock for the Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt exhibition at the Arkansas Arts Center sometime soon.
awesome. I had gone there just the past year, and I remember I immensely enjoyed my trip. Personally, I think Bill clinton was a smart and capable president.
