Breakfast places in Little Rock are seemingly few and far between. Even fewer are open on Sunday....so we went straight for lunch at the Big Whiskey. Next stop was a ride on the Central Arkansas Transportation (CAT) streetcar. Streetcar was a sweet deal...$1 for adults and 50 cents for kids and the streetcar operator provides a tour as he goes. Little Rock is probably the smallest "big city" I've ever seen. The downtown area is tiny and there's almost no one to be found (maybe due to the heat?). It is very clean and has a nice waterfront area so it's not a bad place to visit. We took the streetcar across the Arkansas River, by the USS Razorback submarine, around a small portion of North Little Rock, back across the river and finally to the Clinton Park and Library. We had a great tour guide through the library. Highlights included the full scale Cabinet Room (notice who is seated at the head of the table) and Oval Office models, gifts received from dignitaries and private citizens, as well as getting to look up Clinton's itinerary for the day he was in Portland to give the commencement address for Christy's graduation from Portland State.
