Autumn in Arkansas
Here are some pics from last fall when I drove a visiting friend around Arkansas to see Fayetteville and Crystal Bridges in Bentonville. Fayetteville is a cute, hill-y college town with a big cross at the overlook and Bentonville has an excellent museum, Crystal Bridges, featuring artists Jean-Michel Basquiat, Paul Cézanne, Dale Chihuly, Willem de Kooning, Keith Haring, Winslow Homer, Georgia O’Keeffe, Norman Rockwell, Mark Rothko, Andy Warhol, and many more. Entrance to Crystal Bridges is free and you can also walk on trails and tour a Frank Lloyd Wright house on the museum grounds.

We got calamari and fish for lunch at the famed restaurant, Neptune’s Net, where the salty air married with the scents and flavors of fresh seafood, lemon, and vinegar.

Weekender in Atlanta
Last month I had the pleasure of exploring Atlanta, Georgia over two weekends and here are my highlights. Atlanta Museum of Contemporary Art The Atlanta Museum of Contemporary Art was a small space but a gem where the staff was very friendly and informative, and the art was incredible.

Atlanta Aquarium The aquarium was massive and sublime. In fact, it is the largest aquarium in the U.S. and in the Western Hemisphere!…
