Day 47 Lexington, MO to Arrow Rock, MO

2597.6

Lexington is a really neat place to be. Lots of history. Very pretty, quaint. There is also a wonderful bookstore, River Reads, downtown. They serve a good cup of coffee and have a terriffic selection of literature for a small town bookstore. No shelves of Harlequin here. We had doughnuts in honor of Harry Potter 7 being released. Amanda read Rumi. I read Rilke. We read for a couple of hours.

Eventually we had to tear ourselves away from the comfy confines of the bookstore and ride instead.

We rode to Arrow Rock, another delightful place to be. The state park in Arrow Rock is very nice and the town is tiny, old, charming, very charming. We walked around town before hitting the tent for the night, knowing that we could sleep in because tomorrow instead of riding we read Harry Potter.
