After I left my sister, I headed south through Kentucky and Tennessee to Mississippi. My GPS tried to divert me because of thunderstorms and risk of flash flooding but I stuck to the highway in hopes to make it to my friend's son's soccer game. I drove through some pretty heavy rain, but it didn't last too long and it ended up being the most rain I had the entire six weeks I was gone, so I feel very blessed. I made it in time to go to the soccer game, which ended up being cancelled about half way through because of lightening, but we had a good time and then went out for tacos and ice cream.
I found Oxford Mississippi to be a nice town. I wandered around William Faulkner's home - Rowan Oak and then walked through Bailey Woods to University Museum on the campus of Ole Miss before I headed out of town.
