Today we dragged ourselves from the shores of the Mississippi River. The campsite was great with the marvelous walking trail along the bank ( you can't even call it that as it is a lovely wide sidewalk just over a mile one way), going under the double bridge that joins Natchez with Vidalia. Natchez is the money side as is shown in the old mansions that abound there. Near where we stayed is quite run done but don't worry Amy the police station was just down the road and they patrolled quite often. It was quite warm when we got there but today it was only about 60-65. The sun was shining and the birds trilling away as we left.
Then it was onto Frogmore which has been farming cotton since the 1800's on about 1900 acres. The owner and especially his wife has done an amazing job of recreating the workings of a cotton plantion from then to now. She is a very knowledgeable woman and has gone to great lengths to accomplish this. We spent over an hour going on the tour. It's too bad that we couldn't see then actually harvesting as this is done in the fall.
Tonight we are camped on the banks of a pond/lake at a KOA campground just outside of Lafayette Louisiana. When I went into the office to register the woman there admired the purse I had made. One thing led to another and I'm going to meet up with the quilter's guild that meets every Wed. in the rec room. Can hardly wait!
