Real Southern Hospitality

During our 6-month trip in the US we met so many nice people it is impossible to tell you about them all. But the people in Alabama and Mississippi take the cake. So gracious, polite and kind. And nothing represents their southern hospitality better than the Mississippi Welcome Centre on Interstate 10 at the Alabama/Mississippi state line.

On the outside it looks like a gracious southern home:

And as you walk in the door you are greeted by you know who. Probably Mississippi's most famous son. He actually says hello and welcomes you:

And an Easter egg tree:

And each room is furnished with beautiful antique furniture (or maybe reproductions -I am no expert):

You are welcome to peruse the literature racks, tastefully integrated into each room, have a seat and read about the local area, check your emails or even watch television. All while enjoying a complimentary cup of tea or coffee.

And each room contained several displays representing Easter:

ceramic Easter eggs

The Easter Bunny's village

And of course the Easter Bunny

Happy Easter to all from Arch, Anne, Tara and Princess
