Spinach, pickles, wine and peaches

I'm happily ensconced in my (very nice) hotel in Siloam Springs. My dad guessed my trip time to be about five hours. I said less than three. Took two hours and 45 minutes, including a Taco Bell stop in Alma. It was a boring trip, but thankfully my pal Brent talked to me for about 45 minutes, and I made a couple of new CDs today to listen to.

And after leaving my town, known for Toad Suck park, I realized that I'd traveled through the pickle, peach, wine and spinach capitols of Arkansas in just over an hour.

I start interviews at 9 a.m. tomorrow and end around 4 p.m. What a marathon! But they're continuing to impress me with their hospitality. My room is so very nice... the bed is yummy... and someone from the university called to welcome me to Siloam. Nice touch.

And since I'm such a big dork, here are a few pics of the hotel room. Including that amazing bed.



The bathroom



And the LOVELY view
