Natchez, MS (USA)

Carolyn was visiting Meridian, so we decided to take her on a trip to historic Natchez. Nicky and I have enjoyed this old town a few times before and we knew that Carolyn would like it. Headed west on I-20 and stopped for gas and snacks in Forest, Mississippi (1300L). We joined the Natchez Trace just west of Jackson. It was a pleasant ride - and we had nice weather to stop and walk along parts of it. Spent a few hours in the old town and took a tour of an old home (Natchez Pilgrimage Tour - 1630L). The ladies giving the tour wore period hoop skirts (like "Gone with the Wind"). Bought some souvenirs before we left (1750L). Later had dinner at Nicky's favorite restaurant, "Fat Mama's Hot Tamales." After eating, we drove towards New Orleans. Stayed overnight in a Courtyard in Baton Rouge.
