Eureka Springs, Missouri

We arrived in Eureka Springs about 6 pm and got settled in for the night.  It rained during the night and was cloudy and rainy the next morning but out we went.  We drove to see the Christ of the Ozarks at the Passion Play Park.  The Passion Play had closed its performances until next May.  We then drove on a scenic drive up 62 North and then 182 where we made stops at the Thorncrown Chapel, Beaver Lake and the Golden Gate Bridge.  The drive was beautiful with the leaves turning close to their peak colors.  The Chapel is made of solid glass, framed in wood.  We arrived back in town for lunch at the Main Street Cafe.  After lunch, we drove Spring Street, a historic loop in downtown Eureka Springs and the Cresent Hotel, c. 1886.
