Branson Historic Downtown

Today we took a bike ride into Historic Downtown Branson and Branson Landing. it is basically a big shopping area with unique shopping. They had neat little shops and cafes. We ate at the Farmhouse cafe. It had your basic American fare. We had cheeseburgers and i had a root beer Float and Leigh had lemonade.

We then walked the shops. They had a real old fashion 5 & 10 cent store lots of dress, leather, quilting and hobby shops. My favorite was the candy store called "Simply Irresistible Old Fashion Candy Store". It was irresistible too. i got some old fashion liquorish (black candy) bad spelling. Leigh got butterscotch. I will be returning there before we leave here.

We then walked down to the river where Branson Landing is. You walk on cobblestone road by the river and there is where all the high end shops, cafes and art galleries are. so we went in a few place including the bass pro show for Leigh. They had an aquarium with all the local fish mostly trout and bass. Lots of stuff bears, deer, fox raccoons and stuff to look at.

And we toured an art gallery and it had nice couple of pictures of bears. The owner stopped and talked to us because we had on our bear shirts and he showed us some pictures of this artist from Nevada that had wildlife paintings beautiful ones.
We then road home to the campground. Another nice day in Branson before the rain comes again on Tuesday.
