1994: Austin or Bust Day Two

Started the day off right with my first visit to Graceland and the last one with all the tour guides giving explanations of each room. I only spent enough to see the house and cars. I think I didn’t bother with the rest because I wasn’t sure how long it would take me to get to Dallas. If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend seeing Graceland, it’s not tacky or kitschy, it’s more of a time capsule.

Little Rock was just a quick stop to see all the Clinton stuff, otherwise, passing through the state was the plan. I had been there in the past and wasn’t impressed in the Eighties.

Texarkana appeared around dinner time. I couldn’t think of anything to see so I refueled and enjoyed the NPR affiliate playing Fresh Air, Maurice LaMarche discussing his role on The Critic.

Didn’t see much of Dallas in the dark but found a decent hotel room in Garland next to another Waffle House. Then I made my plans for the Sixth Floor downtown before bed.

Still my favorite Groundhog Day ever.
