Today is Tony and Cara's Wedding Day. We hope your future is filled with lots of happiness and prosperity. We wish we could be there with you tonight. However, we are in Columbus, Mississippi. Today is also Jay and Cynthia's Anniversary. Happy Anniversary!

We left our anchorage at 6:50 A.M. We passed through two locks, Thomas Belville and John Stennis. There were so many fishermen on the river today. Slow down, speed up, slow down, speed up...... We saw many gorgeous homes and lots of boats. We even saw a red telephone booth on shore sitting all by itself. I thought that was hilarious.

We are docked at Columbus Marina in Columbus, Mississippi. This is a nice marina. We borrowed the courtesy car and went into town. There were lots of old antebellum homes near town. They had signs in the front yard that had the name of the house and the year it was built. We enjoyed our self guided tour. The courtesy car was a Chevy van that would only stay running if you kept your left foot on the brake and your right foot on the gas at the same time. It was only running on about 3 or 4 cylinders and the rear tire felt like it was going to shake off the car. Driving was an experience, but we got there and back with no incidents. It's nice when the marinas have courtesy cars. We appreciate it a lot.
