Eureka Springs, Arkansas

After 2 days in Harrison we drove up to Eureka Springs and stayed two nights.
We'd checked the phone book and found a Motel 6 and called to reserve our stay. Had a lovely country drive, entered Eureka Springs and drove right on out of it...um...no motel 6. Rosa calls, we get directions. So back through town we go. Still no motel 6. Rosa calls -again- and the guy stays on the phone giving us directions. Well, Motel 6 turns out to be Motel 62. It had changed hands after all the phone books were printed. I saw it when we entered town the first time...but I was looking for a motel 6.....

Saturday was spent doing touristy things. We went and saw Quigley's Castle. Here are a few pictures:

This house was painstakingly coated in rocks and yes those are real plants growing from the ground in the house to the second floor. They are 50 years old.

These are both from the living room

A quilt and an embroidered bedspread, there is bead work in the peacocks tail and the flowers

Notice the bottom book, its Harry Potter :)

A fence and gate made of rock and cement

I put a link at the right so you can check out the place.

And thats it for tonight, I'll tell you about the other places we went.
