Hello from the Mississippi River. See the photo to the right? No? Well that’s because I forgot to take any pictures!!! Too bad; that sunset we saw while walking across the bridge from Vedalia, LA to Natchez, MS was pretty. Natchez is a pretty, antebellum city with lots of history. We didn’t make it to a home tour or the Grand Village, but did enjoy eating waffles, grits, catfish, and hush puppies, buying yarn to make a poncho, and browsing the local bookstores.
We didn’t stay in Natchez to see more sites because of the rain storm. We drove in the rain all day to get as close to AL as possible (and because this park has internet, when many along the way do not!). Meridian is partly cloudy and cool; looks like we’re out of snow range!
The amount of damage from hurricanes is less here, but still apparent. There are lots of blue tarps on roofs, downed tress, and twisted signs.
