We’re Back In The Old South: La Quinta Texarkana Arkansas:
We got off the road for the day at State Line Avenue exit 223 and checked into the La Quinta next to the Denny’s in room 102. It’s an older property. We can walk to dinner and we did. We ordered spaghetti at Denny’s and got ice cream at the gas station after dinner. Later we added up expenses at the end of the first week of the trip, gave the dog a bath, and gave the dog his anti-flea cream that we had just bought at the nearby Petsmart.
We drove from Sulphur Springs to Texarkana on State Line Avenue. The flora and fauna is changing radically. I see ponds of water beside the highway that begin to look like swamps. We cross the Sulphur River and we don’t have to think is it real or man-made. We’re suddenly back in the Deep South in Texarkana.
