Time to tell a little about Branson. Got here Thursday, Oct 21 and will be leaving tomorrow morning, Oct 25th. Branson sits on a cluster of hills. Like real hilly, but then we are in the Ozark mountains. Known for country and variety shows, there a number of theaters all vying for customers. We just explored around Branson itself and even went downtown to the waterfront on the White River. It is interesting country. We also took a side trip to Eureka Springs, Arkansas instead of taking the motorhome. This was a good thing. We thought Branson was bad, wrong!! Eureka Springs is hillier yet and a whole lot narrower with its streets. It is an old, old town in the hollers of Arkansas. We did visit the Baker Hotel, supposed to be haunted, and walked briefly through the town. On the way we stopped where they hold the great passion play, "Christ of the Ozarks". Pretty elaborate sets and a huge statue of Jesus you can see across the holler from Eureka Springs. We headed back to Branson for the rest of the weekend and we will prepare to move on to Oklahoma City. From the old postcard sayings, "Wish you were here"!!
