Power’s out at the Airbnb so I took myself out for dinner and something called a “Memphis Cream Cake”. This is a banana cake with peanut butter frosting, topped with chocolate ganache. It is goooooooodddddd. It was GOOD. Not nearly as sweet as it sounds. Kinda like banana bread in terms of flavor and the…

It’s been ages since I went out to greet the sunrise. This time I walked all the way to Arkansas and back to do it.  

Finally got out and about to do some exploring. Wound up eating some sweet potato pancakes at Arcade Restaurant, where Elvis used to eat.

I just barely missed the marching of the ducks. I’m gonna catch it at some point though…  

Is my Airbnb haunted? I’ve got a closet door in my bedroom that pops open at random, and it always manages to startle me.
