One of those days we drove to the Mississippi Delta, about a two hour drive. First stop was lunch at Ground Zero in Clarksdale. Morgan Freeman is half owner and the mayor of Clarksdale owns the other half and happened to be having lunch there that day.
It's not a fancy place! You can tell that by looking at the front door!
The inside is pretty cool though.
We had an appetizer of fried green tomatoes and lunch was pretty good too!
This lovely car was parked across the street.
Everything in this area is about the blues. Love this sign!
We drove over to the old Hopson Plantation which is now the Shack Up Inn. It would be quite an experience to stay there. The old shacks where the workers lived are now "hotel" rooms.
Really fancy lobby!
We were able to go inside one of these shacks a few years ago and they are pretty rustic inside too!
I think we'll take a pass on staying there!
After that interesting tour, we headed to Mound Bayou to see Peter's Pottery. This is where the pottery is made and they have a resale shop there.
It's a family owned and run business. I love their pottery and have several pieces.
Then we drove to Marigold where McCarty Pottery is made.
More beautiful pottery!
Then time to head home but what a fun day!
After 12 years of driving my Jeep, it was time to get a new one. This is the first time in over 25 years that I haven't driven a black vehicle!
I haven't driven it much yet. Still trying to figure out all the bells and whistles! I think the keyless start is going to take a little getting used to! I just hope it's as good a car as my last Jeep was. Ben has graciously taken the old Jeep off my hands!
