arch 6 - Natchez is a beautiful historic city on the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River. With many antebellum and victorian homes we felt we had stepped back in time 300 years.

Spring shrubs were flowering and mockingbirds were singing here in the deep south. We started our day with a tour of the city with an amusing and informative guide who shared many stories about Natchez. After the tour it was time for lunch at Natchez Under the Hill where thieves, cut throats and ladies of the night lurked in the most notorious river front of the south. Today there are a few restaurants and the riverboat casino. After lunch we decided to tour Dunleith and Stanton Hall which were both gorgeous. We also drove past the home of author Greg Isles who writes many of his novels centred around Natchez. The bird in the planter is a mockingbird.
