Hot Springs and Hillbillies!

Our visit to arkansas was a brief one: we flew into the little rock airport only to drive to memphis (which is a hard town to find direct flights from philly).

Before we hit the road, we did manage to take a quick look at the capitol (click the pic for a better view) and stop for lunch at ashley's at the capital (located in the capital hotel). Believe it or not, this restaurant is one of my all time favorites! Just a tremendous menu. The grouper was excellent, and they had this crispy sesame flatbread called lavash that was so good, the waiter even gave us some for the road.

Nearby was the recently opened clinton presidential library, and about an hour west is hot springs national park, but we didn't have time for anything here. We were heading east to memphis, tennessee.
