Monday 9th September

I went to the hospital this morning and did a chaplaincy round on one of the floors.  I had a bit of an early lunch there, then as I felt restless, I thought I would take a trip this afternoon and went to the historic city of Fort Smith, just over the Arkansas state line.

It wasn't until I got there that I thought 'IDIOT' (it's a 300 mile round trip) I had forgotten that museums are closed on Mondays.

 

I do need to take the computer back to  Staples to sort out why I can't enlarge pictures any more. You can't read notices like this.

 

I think before I take another longish trip like this I need to put a little more preparation into it, so I don't overlook important details like museums closing.   This state has such a wonderfully interesting history with its Native American culture and heritage centres, and Wild West history, I think I should try and get out a bit more. 

 

 

This evening I went water walking as I watched the sun go down, it was a lovely sunset.  After an afternoon in the car it was good to exercise in the water, I did walk round with the current though, I was a bit too tired to push against it.
