Hot Springs National Park

Today we visited our first "attraction" of the trip, Hot Springs National Park.  If you have not been here before it is the most unusual national park we have ever been to.  First, it is in the middle if the city and consists of bath houses from the early 1900's.  We learned all about the "golden age of bathing."  (Not sure what age of bathing we are considered in today!). So we went to the visitor center where one of the bath houses is set up like a museum.  We learned that a lot of people went there to cure syphilis, which made me want to start the "a golden age of Purell bathing" when we got back to Bertha.  In a nutshell Hot Springs NP was pretty weird and not at all what we were expecting, and we will probably not be back anytime soon.  We did have a delicious meal last night which Colin will blog about soon!  Stayed tuned for our visit to Memphis where we will eat yummy BBQ and listen to some blues on Beale Street!
