After dinner last night, at around 7:30 pm, we headed down to the River Front area. The sun was starting to go down so it wasn't quite so hot. It was absolutely delightful down there. Little Rock really did a fantastic job in the design of the River Front park. There is somthing there for everyone - trails, gardens, gazabos, play gounds for kids, schulpture garden, etc. It was amazing how many people were there. The park and trail goes 8 miles up the Arkansas River, goes across on the Big Dam Bridge (honest, that is the name), comes back the other side of the river which is in North Little Rock and than you cross this bridge to get back to the main area which is 4 blocks from our condo. This bridge was once a bridge used by the railroad but was abandoned when the rail road was rerouted. When they built the trail a few years ago, this bridge was turned into a pedestrian bridge. After wandering around for awhile, we cut through the Peabody Hotel to get back to a street. However, we ran across a duo that was playing in the lobby bar of the hotel. One black guy was on keyboard and another black buy was on sax. The were outstanding! Their music ranged from blues, jazz, 60's to current. We set in the bar for over an hour listening to them and drinking pink lemonade. 8-) Then we walked home at about 10 o'clock. A fun way to spend the evening.
