Got up today and phoned Enterprise. They finally showed up about 11:20 and took me to the office to rent a car - got a Honda Elantra - quite cute. I'm finding that the hardest thing to adjust to is training my eyes to see the large numbers on the speedometer! I drove over to the Clinton Presidential Center and did an audiio tour of the Library there - narrated by Bill Clinton himself. It's very well laid out, lovely displays, lots of video, impressive historical and political records - but boring for me - American politics is not exactly my forte - or my interest. In fact, politics in general . . . Lots of cool visuals, though - I just had to fast forward Bill through a lot of his commentary. There was even a picture of Jean Chretien - amongst all the world leaders who have been soooo impressed by Clinton. One room was devoted to a mockup of the oval office during Clinton's time in the White House.
There was an art display of Dale Chihuli's work, which was amazing - blown glass. The whole room is full of delicate, colourful bowls within bowls within bowls - hard to describe, but luckily picture taking was allowed!
After that, I went to the River Market and strolled around a bit, looking at the shops - quite eclectic area.
I found a Krogers fairly close to the rv park and finally bought some fresh fruits and vegetables. I'm exhausted tonight!
Some of these photos uploaded weirdly, so I'll try again later!
