Ol' Man River

The next couple of days were spent winding our way down Great River Road, which follows the Mississippi River from the Canadian border to the sea. I think we did Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas (only for an hour, but had to be done) and Louisiana in one day! To be honest it wasn't the most exciting journey with long straight roads cutting through fields of maize, barley and (possibly) tobacco.

We got back onto the Natchez Trace Parkway and wound our way down to Natchez, taking in emerald mound. Although impressive, this earth mound isn't a patch on what the ancient incas used to build. After lunch at Fat Mama's House (tamales covered in chilli) we cruised on down to New Orleans.もっと詳しく
