How bloody fabulous is the Mississippi River? I had no idea how great it actually was. All this time I thought it was just a place full of rednecks and thoroughly unpleasant. Well I was right and wrong. We stopped for lunch today and had our first Crawfish - we are still unsure as to what that is but we loved it anyway. Sort of a cross between lobster and prawns as far as I can gather. It was so sooo yummy. Anyway, Shano has just popped out to have a look at the river by night and I have bid him farewell in case he gets eaten by an alligator or attacked by the KKK. You never know in these parts. Actually I shouldn't joke about that because we are tonight in the very place that the movie "Mississippi Burning" was about - and filmed in. It is a great spot but still very "separate" as far as I can tell. It is so beautiful here with all the old southern architecture - Hayley you would go berserk. We went and had a look at an old plantation estate today and it was so bloody amazing that I wanted to move right in. So very "Gone with the Wind" meets Mississippi. All the while I can't help feeling utter disbelief that so many of the things happened here that I have read about and seen on TV. It makes me kind of sad - how on earth do we do such terrible things to each other. I would really like to meet a clan member and punch them in the nose (or glass 'em). Anyway this is one of the nicest places we have come to in the South so far. I was beginning to think it was all awful. On a more depressing note, can anyone believe that Donna Summers died - what the hell? No more "Hot Stuff" I'm afraid. Sorry I know that was random but the woman was a disco genius!
OK no more from me tonight as I sit contemplative in my Motorhome of Mentals, with a glass of wine and think about life and the KKK. Very shitty indeed. Hell I could go to bed in a sulk if it had not been for the gorgeous "african american" lady with teased hair and blue eyeshadow, at the shop screaming to everyone about how much she loved my hair. She really did - ask Shano - he was embarrassed. Tomorrow I will be in a much better mood and able to see the world through my wonderful rose coloured glasses again. No pun intended. xxxx
