We were thrilled to see the sun this
morning! It’s amazing what makes us happy!
It was extremely humid after the rain and there actually a fog or mist
that needed to be burned off by the sun.
I hope my one photo shows this.
Also that early in the morning the sun was shining through the Spanish
moss. I hope my photos will give you the
feel of the morning.

The highway through St Francisville
did not have a shoulder so I was pilot car for a while. Once we were out of town there was a
beautiful wide shoulder. Yesterday we
talked to a sheriff about the road. He
told us it was beautiful for riding bike.
Well he was telling us about Louisiana – NOT Mississippi. The minute we crossed into Mississippi the paved
shoulder STOPPED!!! HORRORS! It was of course gravel! I piloted Cal again until we could turn
off. We caught a curvy back road, which
was barely traveled. However at one point
this road turned into gravel! Cal rode a
short while but then he loaded the bike on the rack, and we drove the last 2 miles!
Cal
rode until we were a couple miles south of Natchez, Mississippi. Today was his longest ride – 50 miles.
After refreshing we drove around Natchez. We have been here several times before. This time we did not tour any of the homes,
but we found the National Cemetery. We
also drove to Natchez “Down Under” – the part of the city that is down by the
river. We did not visit the casino that
is also down there!
