Vicksburg
H & I made a day trip to Vicksburg. It was raining steadily from reminants of Gustav, but mostly not severely, and we thought Vicksburg in the rain was preferable to being cooped up all day here, comfoy though our room is.
The Welcome Center had a map with a nice driving tour, just the thing to do in the rain. We also got some good eats-- after a few days in Port Gibson, seeing menus with such items as chicken parmesan and baked potatos seemed like a return to the luxuries of high civilization.
Fountain in the rain
Old train station building
MLK, Malcom X, Bobby Kennedy... and I don't recognize who the last one is supposed to be
Um.... Pink gorrilla? And "Support Our Troops" with a Confederate Battle Flag... isn't it a bit, uh, too late, mebe?
It finally stopped raining just as we were about to head back.
