We got sort of fed up with playing poker so decided to drive around and look for antique shops. We went south through the town of Tunica and outside the police station was a 57 Chevrolet. We then went to Helena Arkansas, where we intended to look for antiques. We were totally unaware that there was a major Blues Festival going on, and had a great time walking around the town. We were also stunned by the apparent poverty and abandoned buildings in the town. I now realise that this part of the USA is not Silicon Valley, and if people can move they just leave their house empty, as nobody will buy it. The concept of deep fried Twinkies absolutely boggles the mind.
