My first stop in Mississippi was Oxford, MS, where I spent the night. I checked into my hotel and headed towards to historical downtown square.

Aside from a prominent confederate statue, there was a lot of little shops and I stopped for dinner at a great Creole restaurant. The next day, I headed off to see Elvis’s birth place.

Conveniently along the route to Alabama, I stopped in Tupelo, MS where Elvis was born. There was a lot of mildly interesting signs to read and statues of Elvis. Unfortunately, the museum was closed when I tried to visit but I enjoyed the surrounding park. I didn’t stay too long before I started heading off to the next state. Onwards to Alabama!
