We had breakfast, then wandered around the inn and its grounds.
We had a brief and uninteresting visit to the Vicksburg waterfront. We did see Queen of the Mississippi, but there was no opportunity to go aboard.
We drove over to the battleground - Vicksburg National Military Park.
After a delay because we had not made arrangements in advance for a private guided tour, we were on our way.
After leaving the park, we headed for Shreveport and The Remington Suite Hotel. It turned out to be atypical in furnishings, but with a pleasant staff. Our suite was an interior room - no windows - that certainly damped out street noise. Almost all the furniture was white. The rooms in general were 'unusual' in keeping with the overall style of the hotel.
We had dinner about two blocks from the hotel at Blind Tiger. Our choice of dinner time was good. While enjoying our food, we watched fire trucks roar by, stopping at the hotel in response to a reported gas leak. False alarm. By the time we finished dinner and returned to the hotel, the trucks were gone and guests had been allowed to return to their rooms. Given our interior room with limited egress options, it was nice to sleep in a hotel that has just been carefully checked by the fire department.
