This is a trip we have been thinking about for a number of years. It’s a nine-full day driving tour to explore the historic and cultural heritage of Mississippi with stops in New Orleans and Memphis on either end. We’re starting in New Orleans, spending a full day sampling the sites, food and a little bit of music. It was a beautiful, not-a-cloud-in-the-sky kind of Fall day as we wandered around Jackson Square, listened to street and strolling musicians in restaurants, took the hour long St. Charles Street Car ride through the Garden District to Tulane and back. Food stops included Mr. B’s Bistro for lunch (with a strolling trio) and Restaurant R’evolution for an only-in-New-Orleans sumptuous dinner.
