Walking in Memphis.


Unfortunately, we've had no internet access for a while, and even here I have to write this on my tiny mobile phone, so it shall be short! Anyway, we went to the home of Rock n Roll - Memphis, Tennessee - and saw Graceland. We have a whole new appreciation for Elvis' music - if not his decor. The 'Jungle Room' has green shag-pile on the ceiling and he has his own logo on the walls. He even has two planes! We also went to the great Stax museum, where we saw Issac Hayes' gold Cadillac and we've been listening to Otis Redding ever since. We even saw the site of Martin Luther King's assassination at the National Civil Rights Museum, listened to live Blues and tasted delicious pulled pork before our 10 hour overnight journey to Chicago...
