Memphis to Oklahoma City

A grey overcast rainy morning in Memphis, tornado warnings in the area. Happily the clouds gradually parted and temperatures soared to 89'.

Our first stop was the historic city of Little Rock, Arkansas, best known as the birthplace of President William J. Clinton.  The Presidential Centre and Library is an educational and cultural venue, offering a variety of special events and educational programs. Most importantly, the Centre is a reflection of the work - past, present and future - of the 42nd President of the United States.

A big event in Little Rock today is the Jewish Food Festival in the town centre. With hundreds of exotic food vendors, art and crafts displays, and live music, it attracted tens of thousands.

It was marathon day in Oklahoma City, with 25.000 athletes braving the extreme heat to honour the victims and survivors of the bombing of the Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City in 1995, as well as the victims and survivors of the this year's Boston Marathon.
