MISSISSIPPI

I’ve never been, but I’m going!! I’m going for two reasons; the author Greg Iles and the Blues Highway.

When I was travelling in Memphis and was lucky enough to meet some lovely ladies, they introduced me to the author Greg Iles. But I ignored him for a few years until I was scanning the limited library shelves of our condo. There he was. Reluctantly I grabbed one of his books and began reading later that day.

He turned out to be a treat with so much history of the South. I realised that I knew very little local history of the southern states and began exploring.

Then I discovered the Blues trail of Mississippi. Put it all together and that’s my next destination.
