Leaving Vicksburg

  We have been in Vicksburg for the last five days and have seen quite a bit of this small city.  The weather has been warm, but breezy.  Last night we were able to leave the windows open , love that. 

   There is a fine mixture here of the old and the new.  We were more interested in the old and enjoyed the historic downtown section with its specialty shops.   Some of the streets here are made with the old red bricks.

  No visit to Vicksburg would be complete without a ride through the Vicksburg National Military Park.   We found the park itself not very well cared for, grass needed cutting and  in general  the appearance was shabby.   Perhaps it has been let go as they are closing in two days until next April.  

 We are staying at the Isle of Capri RV Park.   This is a park that we have stay in before.  It is operated by the casino and is priced very reasonable.  They have phones connections at every site, which is a bonus for me, Yah, internet!   They also have a shuttle to take you to the front door of the casino. After making our  usual contributions, we went to the buffet, which I really came for.  On Friday nights it's seafood, including all the crab legs you can eat.  The only problem here is that Bob doesn't do crab legs, says it's to much work.  Well me on the other hand feel its worth the work.  So by the time I'm through with my plate of legs and ready to see what else is there, he has had a salad and a plate of food and looking for dessert.   Oh well, If that's all I have to complain about , I'll shut up.  

We also discovered the Riverside Murals , which we had not seen before.  The brochure says life like murals grace the waterfront wall: enjoy a peak into old Vicksburg, the steamboat era, the great bear hunt and African American history.   It was a beautifully way to view the city's history.

  Tomorrow, we are off to Louisiana and Monday we should be in Livingston, Texas . Y'll take care now.
