The people were friendly, and the food was good.
We stayed two nights at the Wyndham Hotel in North Little Rock, which included breakfast.
Our room was ground level, with a good view of the downtown area and the Arkansas River bridges.
The first day after we checked in, we rode to the downtown area to find somewhere to eat lunch. David's Burger was closing for the day, so we walked down the block to Big Whiskey's.

The building had a vault, which in its heyday was used to store spices.
Our next stop was the Arkansas Historical Museum, where we saw a collection of Bowie knives, a children's gallery, and contemporary art.
The Pioneer Village had closed up shop for the day.

The museum was closed.
We rode behind the museum, where we saw several families of ducklings.

It was getting late as the sun slowly drifted out of sight.
I don't think I could walk another step after all the sightseeing.
We stopped at Wendy's for a quick bite and retired for the day.

The drivers were knowledgeable about the area, the Metro Streetcar was air-conditioned, and the Metro Streetcar ran every twenty minutes.

We were greeted at the door by a curator at the Heifner building.
The curator gave us a brief description of the Heifer company and how it got started with just a cup of milk.
At the Heifer International village and farm, we saw their vegetable garden and farm animals.
At Cafe Heifer, we ordered oatmeal raisins, macadamia cookies, and water.
We saw several turtles in the wetlands, and the gardeners were pulling up plants that no longer were bearing vegetables.

It was super hot, so it was nice to just hop on a nice cool Metro Streetcar instead of a hot car.
Storms were a brew all through Arkansas in the late evening, and we even got some rain.

I hope we miss the bad weather traveling home.
