We went to Eureka Springs, Arkansas, this past weekend. It's a small town carved into the very steep hills of the Ozark Mountains. It's an old town, but it's clean and quaint. The streets are narrow, steep, and windy. It's fun to walk around the historic downtown area and see all the shops. I suppose it would be more fun if you enjoyed shopping. But still, we had a great time just hanging out together, with no real schedule to stick to. We drove out to a lake and then had dinner at The Horizon, a very small, nice little restaurant looking over the lake. Then we drove around and found this old, one-lane suspension bridge. That was very cool, for me. The Wife didn't like it so much. But she won't even step on a metal grate in the sidewalk. We stayed at The Palace Hotel and Bath House. The nice part about it was that it was in town, but on the edge of town, so there wasn't a lot of hub-bub around it. And there are only 7 or 8 rooms, so it wasn't real busy, and we were looking for something a little more cozy and private. If we went back, we'd stay on the upper floor so we wouldn't hear the people above us. We each had a massage in the bath house on Sunday. It was nice, but what we've come to realize is that the day spas that are built into these old bath houses have nice services, but it's a completely different atmosphere than your typical day spa. They're just a little less private, but still nice. We both had a great time and really enjoyed the weekend and each other.
