so we did 'inside' stuff. Allison found the Butterfly Palace. In this building they have recreated a tropical rainforest and imported hundreds of butterflies from around the world. You just walk around and they are everywhere, even landing on you occasionally. The entrance/exit is sort of an air lock to make sure you don't accidentally leave with a butterfly 'hitchhiking' on your body, thereby introducing a 'foreign' species into the US.
Then we went to Talking Rocks Cavern - where it is always 62 degrees! (That felt good.) This was a BIG cavern and we went down a couple hundred feet. Some amazing limestone formations - the pictures don't do them justice.
Tomorrow supposed to be the last very hot day, and then we hope to get some relief starting Wednesday to do some 'outside' stuff.

Real Stuff?
Butterflies? Caverns? Where are you? Virginia? When do we get to see the real stuff? Old whiskey stills, Corn pipes, missing front teeth - you know, stuff the makes up the Ozarks? Sorry to hear it's hot. I'm sure you're having a blast just the same! Bat Lovins, Craig
