After our fun day in the caves we headed back towards Eureka Springs. Mike wanted to make a stop at a video game store that was on the way so I headed into Cato (it's a small clothing store). The last time I was in a Cato was probably 10 years ago, most of the time it's just nms. But, man I lucked out at this place! I scored an adorable black & white houndstooth coat- with a super cute pink satin lining. The best part? Original price $90... my price $ 20! The coat will make an appearance in my next blog post. :-)
After some shopping we headed to a spot in Eureka Springs that I remember going to as a young child: The giant Jesus statue at the Passion Play site. The statue is 7 stories tall but it seemed much larger when I visited it as a little kid! Some pictures:
Mike being a dork.
can you tell we were freezing?!
no offense but the eyes were super creepy:
the site of The Passion Play also has an exhibit set up with a 10x10 section of the Berlin wall.
there were tons of deer roaming around the grounds:
I managed to get a little bit of the site of the play:
I've never seen the play but I've heard it's kind of terrible. lol I read some reviews of it on tripadvisor.com when we were making our trip intinerary and they weren't good. After our sightseeing we headed into town for dinner. We ate at a great little restaurant, and headed back to our hotel to get in out of the cold. Only one day left!

Oh my goodness -- I cannot WAIT to see that coat! It sounds amazing.
And the giant Jesus is awesome.
Actually, the Berlin wall piece is awesome! (no sarcasm in the first and last statements)
I love the pix of Mike with the giant freak-eyed Jesus! ;) And you heard right, the Passion Play is effing terrible. I'm not saying that as a former Theatre Major... I saw the play when I was like 10 years old and I knew it was bad way back then. I'm pretty sure that "says something." ;) Can't wait to see pix of your new jacket!
