Mike & Tod - Day 26

More history lessons for the lads.

This says....something about Yazoo.

This says....something about the Civil War, I expect.

And, as their fortunes appear to be turning, they stayed at the historic Riverside Hotel.

It is on the Mississippi Blues Trail, which the boys followed today.

Nothing fancy, but I guess that historic stuff doesn't have to be.

So they made it to Clarksdale. With Memphis possibly in sight for tomorrow.

Originally no rooms available in Clarksdale, as The Catfish Festival was in town. Took some serious office time to get them out of this dilemma.

And Clarksdale is a hub for the blues scene in these parts. Memphis isn't too shabby either, I hear.

Man, this part of the country seems to have a bit more culture and history than them swamps of Central Florida.

And they also stumbled, yes stumbled, onto a "crazy" Blues Fest.

It was pretty rocking - or bluesing, I guess - according to local reports.

Hey, do those two ever work?
