Big day in Little Rock.

Bear uses the dog door into our place to visit from time to time. (NB: This is the same rug we have in whitewater, only much nicer.)

A bit of downtown Little Rock, which really is quite a small town.

The big line waiting to order at the Flying Fish in downtown LR.

The restaurant's wall is covered with trophies, including these.

Late breakfast at Roots, a funky but fabulous pace just a block from here. Line out the door when we arrived and still there when we left an hour later.

A long walk around the neighborhood (the historic Governor's Mansion neighborhood), mostly built in the 1880s and now transitioning from run down to rehabilitated, maybe even gentrified someday. At the convenience store at the corner of Broadway and Spring Street a long, animated, discursive conversation with Amexem Alumuur (of Morian Temple Services) about ethnicity, evolution, and human origins. We both had a good time.

A short drive and then a good walk along the west bank of the Arkansas River (Murray Park). And then dinner at the Flying Fish, downtown (10 minute drive) of catfish and shrimp. Once again a long line—the place somewhat reminiscent of Snoopy's south of Corpus Christie on Mustang Island.

And, sometime during the day we came to the realization that we are just one block away from the place we stayed at on our way home last year. Duh. (Our current place is much nicer.)
