JACKSON, MS

we left Thibodaux around 9ish yesterday sunday and headed for Jackson, ms where we wanted to spend a few days seeing some of the sights...a very scenic ride on interstate 55 one we hadn't drove except for some very short rides on it...one we might want to do again.. we headed for a state park here in Jackson on where the rou and carol stayed on their way south so they gave us some pointers...we are in a state park that is almost right in the middle of the city and close by are all the things we would like to do..spent the morning touring the state capital and it the tour guide we thin was on the run..she just kept one walking fast and talking all the time...hardly had time to ask a question..so an hr tour took 15 minutes (we felt that anyway)..then off the lunch at two sisters southern cooking...good chicken-turnip greens-cabbage-pickled beets-good stuff and all home cooked.. then off to the ag museum where we spent the rest of the afternoon..saw the biggest collection of pencils that we have ever seen... .
