Travel day

Oct. 7, 2016


We left Biloxi this morning on our way to Tupelo, MS, which is just a stop on the way to Nashville, TN.  It was a long day, crashing along Hwy . 49 south of Jackson, then we stopped at the High Noon Cafe in the Rainbow grocery co-op in Jackson for lunch.  The GM of the co-op is a fellow Midget owner!  This is a healthy food place and lunch was good, considereing it contained no meat.  After lunch, we made our way to the Natchez Trace which would take us to Tupelo for the night.  Since this is a federal highway, I was expecting it to be in great shape.  Its a beautiful drive, but the roadway in places was almost as bad as the terrible roadway in Jackson.  Very disappointing.

We   finally arrived in Tupelo, checked in and then went to eat at the Blue Canoe, a popular pub - loud conversation, loud live music and good food and drink.  After dinner, we went back to the hotel, washed some clothes and got ready for tomorrow.  We'll stop in Franklin, TN, a cute, touristy town before getting to Nashville.

"Blue Mother Tupelo" live at the Blue Canoe

For dessert, we had Connie's Blueberry Doughnut Bread Pudding!
