Been to Natchez & Vicksberg since last blog. Natch is a quiet little town whose major occupation is now tourism. There are a number of rich peoples homes to visit. When cotton was big anyone with a little money came here, set up cotton plantations & became millionaires overnight. Went to micro-distillery making rum. Nice samples. Saw some freed slave homes who did really well. Took one of boat's bikes for a ride along the bank.
Vicksburg is site of a major civil war battle. Went to the battlefield and learnt about it from a CSA army character. I was Major General Bowen of the CSA army, but died of dysentery before the war end. Chilly now and rainy. Food still good, got Maine Lobster tonight.
