I was up early and planned to leave but as I looked around (and visited the Vistor's Ctr), I didn't get out of Natchez until almost evening.
Most of the town sits on a 200 ft bluff overlooking the Mississippi River. 'Natchez Under The Bridge' is a collection of art galleries, restaurants and this boat casino.
Natchez has dozens of beautiful Victorian mansions. Many are open to the public by tour.
The woman at the Visitors Ctr knew exactly the kind of cemetery I was looking for. She told me she walks weekly through here with her grandson and still they haven't seen all the graves.
I only spent about 2 hours - the multi levels, the brickwork, the old iron and the tombstones from the early 1800's were awesome!
Before I left Natchez I had to cross the bridge over to Louisiana and back.
I was glad to see they're keeping their young men busy over there :-))
I asked a LA park worker (in street clothes) working on a sprinkler head and he replied philosophically with a long southern drawl, "Welllll, I guess we all wear 'uniforms' of some sorts these days, now don't we?"
