Fun in Natchez

We got up and both took showers. We collected the laundry in case we found a Laundromat later in the day. When we went to leave, Evelyn noticed the connection to the lights on the Jeep was pulled out. When I went to unhook the Jeep from the motor home, it wouldn’t start. I rolled it back a ways and talked to the woman who drove around providing security and asked her to jump me. She did after I added water to the battery. I let the Jeep run for a while as I worked on the electrical connection. I found a schematic that told me how to connect, and I did. Things seemed to work but need to be checked when the sun goes down. It is hard to distinguish on and off when the sun is shining on the lights. We went off to the Dunleith plantation that offered tours. There were package deals, but Evelyn thought they would all be alike. The tour was very short, but we had a nice director who deviated from the script enough that we could learn things we wanted to know. We walked around the grounds after and went to the Castle for lunch. We shared a dinner of tilapia without a plate charge. The waitress even threw in an extra salad that was delicious. It had quite a variety: lettuce, tomatoes, red peppers, green peppers, red onions, capers and asparagus topped by a Wishbone Italian dressing. We learned from the wait staff that there was a Laundromat near the Wal-Mart where we were parked. We went there and did the laundry because we were nearly out of underwear. We brought only 7 day’s worth of supplies. We should have done laundry in Roswell but didn’t. We were prevented by traffic from bringing the clothes home, so we returned downtown to take a walking tour. We saw a few old buildings but noted that the city, unlike Savannah, GA, was in poor repair. We enjoyed the walk, however. I walked down to the Natchez under the hill site that now houses the Isle of Capri gambling boat. Evelyn refused to go because it was too steep. This from a woman who walks up a mountain in NC! It was not as steep nor as far. I came back up, nd we went to Bowie’s tavern that offered a two for one drink special. We also had some hot spinach artichoke dip and chips. We came back to the motor home and unloaded the laundry.
For some reason we decided to have some of the squash we had brought from NC before it spoiled. We also had some ice cream in some wretched puff pastry shells. I threw the remainder away and don’t want anymore.
