We visited Mud Island on the 16th. It has a museum about the Mississippi River and environs. And a 5 block replica of the river from Cairo, Illinois to the Gulf, built to scale, depth, width with the history of many locations discussed on plaques. Water runs through it, kids play in it. It is very interesting and a happening place. Visited Graceland (see Elvis' gold records), which was a trip back in time, and the National Museum of Civil Rights that is housed in the Lorraine Motel where MLK Jr. was shot. The wreath on the motel railing is the spot he fell. It is a terrific museum; begins with Nat Turner right up to the present. Really brings back memories.
We are now between Oklahoma City and Amarillo. Santa Fe on Thursday morning.
