By hitting the road early, we gave ourselves a little time to check out Memphis. Didn't do all that much, but we did get to take Lester for walks along the Mississippi River and down Beale Street. We were hoping to have lunch at the Little Tea Shop, but it wasn't open.

After Memphis, we crossed over the river and into Arkansas. Arkansas is the only state on this trip neither of us had been to before. We made a quick stop in Little Rock, caught glimpses of the Arkansas State Capitol and the Clinton Presidential Library, then headed southwest for Hope, birthplace of President Bubba. One more night, one more Holiday Inn. We did have a pleasant Tex-Mex meal at Amigo Juan's on North Hervey. No chicken o'tenders on this night. Tomorrow is the final leg. At least of the drive.
