Day 2 continued and 3

Sunday night after the Art Festival was over and they were all packing up the gang and I walked down the street to a local Bar called Ebbet's Field. The bar was filled with 20 somethings and the atmosphere was a bit loud at times but the food was great. Cynical and I had the Bum. A cheeseburger with a side of greasy under deep fried fries in oil that needed to be changed awhile back. Needles had a salad and Ragged had the chicken sandwich. After a couple of drinks we walked back to our B&B and took up our comfy spots in our room. The next day we took it easy to allow our bodes to rest from the travel. We did get to visit a local coffee shop and the cappuccino was perfect. The place was called Oaxacafe pronounced (Wa-ha-ka-fay). A little later the ladies spied a yarn and craft place and were eager to descend upon it. They loved the place called She's Crafty and return a little over an hour later with yarn in need of a new home. The lady that owned the place was very nice and tried to get them to come back and have a knit in, but the ladies were afraid to leave their men unattended and up to or own devices so they hesitantly left to check in on us. Later that evening we walked to the downtown to Maria's Mexican Restaurant. Since it was Cinco de Mayo we waited for a table and was able to enjoy the celebration. It was very loud and packed. Standing room only while a strolling guitarist belted out familiar tunes from south of the border. The food was fantastic and just what I wanted to satisfy the spicy craving I had been having. While downtown we walked around to discover a very neat coffee place called the Mud House. We rolled in after our meal and after ordering our drinks, set up residence at a table. The place was very neat and the coffee gave us just the energy kick to get us back to the room. Last night was stayed up late talking about the plan of attack for today. We plan on going to Mansfield and the grave site, home and museum of Laura Ingles Wilder. We also plan on having lunch at Lambert's and finishing up the day with a visit to Fantastic Caverns. I am sure I will post more later of the days events. Stay tuned boys and girls.
