Memphis, Tn


On the way back to Arkansas from Alabama seemed the opportune time to stop in Memphis, Tennessee and visit Graceland.


This turned out to be an excellent tour and well worth the price. This is the music room just inside the front door. The interior of the house made you feel like you had stepped back into the 50s.


From Graceland a visit to Beale Steet, the street of B.B.King fame, was in order. Musicians strolled the streets with their instruments heading to work .. or play. We also took the trolley ride that runs through the old part of town.


Then it was time to wander over to the Peabody Hotel and check on the ducks. We just missed their parade across the red carpet that runs between the fountain and elevator that takes them to their penthouse home.

What a way to end the day while I reminisced about old times spent in Memphis. We drove back down to Tunica, Mississippi where we spent several nights at the various casinos and took advantage of their "free campgrounds."
