A travel day---we loaded the bus at 8 this morning and rode and rode and rode. Stopping in Weatherford for a snack/bathroom break, we then rode some more to Sherman for lunch. No pressure, no "get back to the bus at a special time" there is a leisurely sort of "whenever" attitude. Then we rode and rode some more stopping for one more break somewhere in Oklahoma--I'd been napping, so not really sure where we were. Roads were really rough, but the bus driver told us that this was the best Ok had to offer. We're in Ft. Smith, Arkansas now and not very hungry (what with all the snack breaks), so N and I have decided to forfeit "supper" and just kick back. He's reading USA Today and you know what I'm doing.
Can't say much about Ft. Smith--it's dark. altho' it seems to be a sizeable place. The hotel has free internet- always a plus and the signs telling you which hall to go down are WRONG. Yep, lots of folks in varying physical conditions -carrying luggage- trouping down the wrong way just to have to turn around and go back. Nope, signs are not to be trusted in Ft. Smith. There are 34 of us on this venture, a very few folks I know, most I don't. A couple of folks from other bank trips are here along w/ my sweet friend Pauline from church. I'm sure we'll get to know each other much better over the next week.
That's all for now from Arkansas.

Ft Smith? Not exactly the capitals of Europe we're used to reading about!
