On to Oxford

Our first destination on the way to the crystal mines, was Oxford, Mississippi. A city which humbly refers to itself as the Cultural Mecca of the South. If by cultural, they mean, we have 3 bookstores on one town square, then they are correct.

Home to writers, James Faulkner and John Grisham.

An homage to their namesake.

Lee surprised me by booking accommodations in this charming cabin, just outside of town, in Holly Springs National Forest. "I know you would sleep in the car by the side of the road, but I prefer a mattress."












Thank you Lee; the cabin was so restful.

Thank you Chamber of Commerce for this lovely shot. We enjoyed visiting your town.
