After a beautiful few days with Julia's grammy, we set out on our first hills since Colorado. We biked 60 miles worth and were pretty beat as we rolled into Eureka Springs. It happens to be a secret sanctuary tucked away in the Ozark Mountains. It is full of creative and intelligent people who have welcomed us with open arms. Our first night in town was spent with other tourists. They were also bikers, but of the motorized variety. We all stayed in a motel and they took us all out for a motorcycle ride. Rocky and Julia were fearless and went safely quite fast and had a tour of the surrouding area. I was less inclined to go so I cruised around town on foot and met a lovely 13 year old girl who I employed as my tourguide. Paige ended up showing all three of us girls the town highlights. Once the tour ended we decided to hang out at a cafe where a band was playing country folk. They were called Cletus Got Shot and did an amazing cover of the theme to Fresh Prince. As we sat we met a kid named Mark who took us in off the streets and let us stay with him. He is wonderful and has the coolest loft I have ever seen. It used to be an office building but has been cleared out and now has space everywhere. There are a couple of rooms but the best thing about it is all the space.
He invited us to a party that first night and we got to go on a hay ride. There was a giant bonfire and lovely people. We even met a guy who travelled up Trail Ridge on bicycle in 1953. The hay wagon was pulled by a tractor instead of horses, but in the dead of night I was glad to have the headlights. There was a vat of chili like I have never seen; I could have bathed in the pot if I wanted to.
Last night we were invited to an interpretive dance performance based off of the Mayan Calendar. It was perfomed by three women and was beautiful. The lights and costumes were creative and the women themselves were so gifted that the meaning just dripped off their bodies. The show was improvisational but they don't tell you until the end and I would never have guessed.
So, we have decided to stay in Eureka through Halloween. Since we have a warm friendly place to stay and people to celebrate with, we wanna party like it's 1999. This way too, we can have time to make killer costumes.
