We are enjoying our time in Little Rock. Last night, Mom took some photos of the lights that are on the bridge. It was raining, so she took them from inside the RV.
We may be able to get a picture from outside tonight.

| Here I am outside this morning. |
 |
| Mom took a panoramic view. |
The folks walked to President Clinton's Library this morning.
 |
| Another panoramic view. it is not bowed as it looks in the photo. |
Bill's apartment is on the top floor. He and Hillary visit about once a month.
The entrance fee for the library/museum is $10 a person. They give guided tours every two hours, so the folks decided to do that. The guided tour definitely gave more information than just a self-guided tour. However, it was not an in depth tour, so the folks went through it again. There is also a movie and the folks enjoyed it.
The folks have been to 12 Presidential libraries now. Mom ranks this one as the 2nd worse. Why? It just didn't have that much in it. The design of it is extremely modern. It has two aisles on all the floors and that is about it. There was very, very little about his impeachment. Mom did not see any mention of Monica, but Dad thought he read a snippet. He was in office for eight years and it definitely didn't look like it by what is on display.
Which Presidential library does Mom say is the worst? Jimmy Carter's. He was in office for four years and there really isn't much in his library. It actually focused more on his life and accomplishments after the White House.

| This is what it looked like. |

| Table set for a dinner at the White House. |

Mom didn't take any photos of the Oval Office because they aren't allowed. They will take your photo and charge you for it. The folks walked right through mainly because the young girl taking the photos was very rude to the tour guide. She told her that only five people were allowed in the room at a time. The tour guide asked, "Since when?" The young girl replied rudely "Since the beginning of time." Mom said she thinks the tour guide has been there a lot longer than the young girl.
After the tour, the folks decided to eat at the restaurant in the library. It gets glowing reviews and it is definitely the nicest looking one. Most of the restaurants in the Presidential libraries serve cold cuts and you order at the counter.
The food was reasonably priced. There seemed to be several locals eating. Mom said it was good, but she probably wouldn't eat there again if she was a local.
 |
| Dad had Mac & Cheese with Buffalo Chicken. |
 |
| Mom had a cheeseburger and fries. She didn't like the fries, so she brought me some. |
It was raining when the folk left the library. They didn't bring an umbrella, so they were pretty wet when they returned home.
I really wanted to walk on the bridge again. I kept asking to go so after dinner, I got my wish.
This time, we walked all the way to the library. I peed on Bill's lawn. Mom thought it would be really cool if Bill was there and appeared on his balcony. Dad said he would probably say "Is that a whippet or a greyhound?" Mom said she could definitely imagine him saying that. She tried to impersonate him, but she couldn't. BOL! So, I peed again and we walked home.
 |
| Our RV is in the front this time as our neighbor left. |
 |
| Here is our RV from the library window. Do you think Bill ever looks over and wishes he lived in an RV? |
