OK, the title of today is a poor play on the song "Walking in Memphis" because it comes to mind everytime I think about Memphis...
We didn't actually do anything in Memphis because we decided to go visit Oxford, Mississippi, and "Ole Miss" because our grandson, Blake is looking at it for college. We decided we would get a picture of the town in our heads in case he decides to go there!
By the time we arrived in Oxford, it was going to be dark, so we first stopped and got a campsite west of town at the Oak Grove Campground (Corps of Engineers) on Sardis Lake. It's a nice campground with well-spaced sites and lots of trees. I'd definitely stay there again if we ever go to visit Blake at the University of Mississippi!
Once we registered the site, we decided to drive in to Oxford and see The Square at night. Chris had read about Oxford and said The Square was supposed to be "the place" to be at night. Well, for a Thursday night in October it was pretty busy!! The Square is centered on the courthouse and there are lots of stores, bars, and restaurants, many still open. There might have also been a concert at one of the sites that night.
We ate Italian food at one of the places on The Square. We walked around and also visited a bookstore, Square Books, before returning to the camp. Tomorrow we will return in the light to see the town and, most importantly, the campus!
