Packing it in

It seems that the last few days on our trip back are going to be jam packed.  Today being a prime example.  We started the day in New Orleans, walking to Cafe Du Monde along the Mississippi River.  Sarah actually passed on Chicory coffee and didnt want beignets until she got a taste of mine.  She was green around the gills from last nights partying.  She did want food though, so we wandered the streets until we found a place for some great french toast, made with fresh french bread.  We hopped in the truck and headed straight up 55 to meet up with some family friends who live in Jackson MS for a late lunch.  We sat outside on comfy couches at a nice little tapas restaurant.  Good food, good friends, great weather, just a really good time.  They took us on a brief tour of some of the highlights Jackson had to offer, including a Frank Lloyd Wright house and a historic plantation house owned and renovated by the local neighborhood and currently being used as an art gallery.  Then we pushed on to Memphis, headed to Beale street for barbeque and blues.  We enjoyed a great band at BB Kings and then stopped in a few other places as well to take in as much as we could.  Tomorrow its off to KY to horse country
