Monday - Vicksburg and Emerald Hill in Natchez

Monday morning we headed to Vicksburg, a key battle in the Civil War.  Although the Visitor's Center and the National Cemetary were closed, we were still able to take the 12 mile driving tour through the hilly battleground to see the 1300+monuments and all the markers that marked the location of differents military positions.  It was pretty incredible.







Our biker friend on the tour, we loved his teddy bear on the back.



This was a private cemetery.  Interestingly, many of the headstones had Hebrew inscriptions.

Afterwards, we went south along the Mississippi to Natchez where the second largest indian mound in the US is located.




We were all ready to cool down and the pool was open!!

Off to the WAFFLE HOUSE for dinner.




We were the only ones in the restaurant but by golly if we could understand the waitress!
