Monday 10 March – Here’s to the state of Mississippi
All of Monday was spent traveling throughout the state of Mississippi. First stop: Clarksdale, city in the Mississippi delta (geographic area), and home of the Delta Blues Museum. We toured the museum then walked around the town, and discovered that even though the buildings and roads appeared to be run down, the area was still abuzz with human activity, and it was interesting to be a part of it. We stopped for a picnic lunch beside the famous Crossroads of highways 61 and 49, which stands as a symbolic location in many delta blues songs and histories.
