One of the most .... I can't really describe .... places I've ever been. Odd is the word that comes to mind, but just because I can't really put my finger on it. Part regular southern country feel, part eclectic artsy type place, part something-old-but-unspoken. Weird feel the whole weekend. My niece was married at the Hamilton House on Lake Hamilton. An experience unto itself, for sure. I'll post some pics later.
Good to be home.

Hmmmm. Naturally weird? Twilight Zone weird? Haunting weird? Banjo music on the river weird?
Can you explain?

No, just "this place is kinda weird" weird. A town nestled in this little isolated town in the south, but with all of these coffee houses and old hotels. Even a strip karaoke bar (I kid you not). It was like a time warp in a way --- you had this kind of modern, hip effort on the one hand and a lot of old, dilapidated hotels on another, and this place that calls itself a tourist attraction .... boasting 5,000,000 visitors per year .... with almost zero to do except sit in some warm water. Cars everywhere, but you didn't see anyone out doing anything except driving, and there's not anything to look at or any place in particular to go. (Unless you count the few historic bathhouses, which didn't appear all that busy to me from looking on the outside).

The pictures I'll post are simply of the wedding and a bit of the surroundings. Beautiful little place with an outdoor wedding chapel right on the edge of the lake.
The cast of characters surrounding my niece --- all of them but 1 from the SF Bay area --- probably had a lot to do with the weirdness of the weekend. Talk about a clash of cultures --- whew!!! I can't even.....

I can't stand Hot Springs...personal reasons...BUT...I talked to this guy once when I was there...HE was funny. Worked at a little bake shop...it was just a rather funny phone call...and all I wanted to know was what time they opened...5 minutes later we still were talking. 
Found out he drove a school bus too...

Love: when a small hand grabs your own, looks up at you and says "SAVE ME FROM THE MONSTER!", you pick them up (along with 2 dolls and a small panda) and they lay their head on your shoulder, then say, "I love you". All because you "saved" them.
Dolfan, did you take your little daughter for a ride on "The Duck?" She would have loved the ride across Hamilton lake. We took our little grandson a couple of months ago. It was priceless, watching his face, as The Boat left the highway and took off across the lake.
God Bless,

No, but we watched it lots of times as it puttered by the site of the wedding. We didn't have a lot of time to spare, I'm afraid. We did see the thing driving through town, though, too. I'd like to have seen it drive into the water.
(For those who don't know, it's an amphibious bus that drives around, picks up people, charges $4 and drives into the water where it operates like a boat for a tour of the lake.)
