Crossing State lines

When you live in West Australia, you get used to being in one big state. Leaving is a big deal!
This chance to zoom from State to State will be fun.

The bloke took a RHS driving lesson from Francis, who did seem a little worried about our safety.
So far we are doing ok, it's my job to remind the bloke to stay right at every corner.
We kept away from the heavy traffic at first.
And found Ponchatoula. Lots of antique shops, fresh cherries to buy and so little traffic.
Perfect place to visit.
Ponchatoula............we loved meeting you.
You never know who you will meet when you get off the Interstate.
Mississippi to Alabama,
Where I seem to have a lean on my camera when snapping from a moving car!
Everything seems a bit skew-wiff!
Alabama........Our destination, where we found fellow blogger Gene Black.
Gene and I tested out the rocking chairs at Cracker Barrel.
It was great to meet this creative man and share a meal...........isn't the internet wonderful to introduce us.
Only a short stay in this state for us though and then back through a corner of Mississippi (which has the very best Visitors Centres) and on to Tennessee.
What's in Tennessee?
MUSIC.......enough for everyone.
