Day 4: Natchez

Today we took a day off from our riding to explore Natchez. We visited the Stanton plantation house. It is one of the largest ones in Natchez. We walked through the historic downtown area visiting art galleries and stores. We aye lunch at a little cafe. I has a salmon pecan salad that was totally amazing.  We even toured the historic cemetery. We got to use some of our slow speed drive skills as we traveled through the narrow road and tight turns of the cemetery. We then traveled across the Mississippi River over the bridge that connects Natchez with Vidalia. Consequently we can claim we went to Louisiana on this trip.We hung out at the hotel and swam in the pool getting out as we saw the dark clouds approaching. Hurricane Alex is off the coast of Mexico and Texas and we ate seeing the bands of clouds and rain overhead.
