Nothing pleases us more than driving on a new route. Today we began our long trek to the farm, but instead of driving on the same old roads, we chose a new way, going straight north on 55 to Memphis, and continuing north to 155, when we turned east. After 5 hours of driving, we decided to stop at a town called Dyersburg, which seems to be a busy little town.
Everything was new today. We drove across the Mississippi River twice and discovered that the river is almost at flood level. The land was flat and lush, all part of the Mississippi delta. We drove through Mississippi, a bit of Arkansas and then Tennessee. The roads very wide and smooth and except for driving around Memphis, were absent much traffic.
We are staying in the Hampton Inn. For $89. we are provided a lovely large room with a desk plus a couch along with a king bed. Internet and hot breakfast are included. Amazing.
600 yards from the motel was a Japanese restaurant. Ken and I sat at the sushi bar for dinner. It was a treat indeed to drink sake and eat Japanese food. The best part was that it was such a surprise to find such a fine restaurant in this small community. You never know what will happen when you start on a journey.
