1st Friday of Lent. That means fast and abstain from meat.The weather was cold when we got up. It was on the 40's. We went to their mall, the Barnes Crossing Mall and it's supposed to be the largest in this part of Mississippi. The mall is huge and all the stores that I like are all here. Had pretzel for lunch we weren't too hungry.
After the mall we went to see the birthplace of Elvis Presley here in Tupelo. It's not too far the RV Park where we're staying. It was awesome to see the house where he grew up, very humble beginning. You can tell they didn't have very much when he was growing up. The Church where he used to sing is also here They also built a museum and a memorial chapel for him in the same area where his house is. Went to the gift shop and looked around. Bought a mug for souvenir. We also went to the theatre in the museum where they showed his early life.
After the tour went back to the park and started cooking dinner. Cooked Shrimp Gumbo with Okra Connie's style for dinner.
