WEDNESDAY . . . A TOUR OF BRANSON

Spent the day touring the main drag of Branson.  It's a very commercial and touristy city which was quite surprising.  Thought it would have more of a country feel . . . a bit laid back and down home.  The main drag is bumper to bumper with tourists and everything is costly.  We would have liked to go to a show but it appears it's all celebrity impersonators.  I think the only original people we saw an add for were Andy Williams and Ann Margaret.  Just can't justify spending $126.00 to see a copy of the real thing.  Hopefully we'll get to see the "originals" when we hit Nashville.

The picture above is a theatre for a show called The Dixie Stampede, which is apparently put on by Dolly Parton.  She's not part of the show which has people riding horses and chasing buffalo, etc.  You can have dinner and watch this live show taking place.

We're staying at an RV park right off the main drag in the heart of Branson.  We have a pool which we've been using each day as the temperature is in the high 90's low 100's.  We were told this is not usual and has been going on for 2 weeks now.  People are really feeling the heat and you can't stay outside for very long.

We're heading off to Mountain View, Arkansaw tomorrow morning.  No rush at this time, just taking our time and seeing the sights.
