Memphis

Got to Memphis yesterday. Went to Graceland this morning, I am not that big an Elvis fan, but it was still pretty amazing. You get to walk through his house (but not the upstairs part). You also see his and his parents graves (if you believe that Elvis is buried there and not walking around Forest Lake somewhere!) Also went to Little Rock Arkansas yesterday, the place where Bill Clinton was governor before he became president.

Memphis is pretty cool, music is obviously pretty big here, everything focuses on Elvis and soul music.

Off to New Orleans tomorrow, going on a river boat cruise for dinner, after a swamp boat ride, where we will apparently see alligators!

All is good, will post soon. Here are a few photos. I am actually in Memphis Public Library using the PC at the moment, so I should be able to post a few photos.

Seligman, Route 66.

Me with the Grand Canyon behind me, the photos totally don't do the Grand Canyon justice.

Ricki, Sarah, Nicola, Liz and I on the jeep tour. I can't remember where (I have been to so many cities and states lately, it was somewhere in Colorado.) There was snow in the mountains there, it was pretty cool.

At the NBA basketball game last night. Memphis Grizzlies beat the Indiana Pacers by about 15 points.

At the front of Elvis' mansion. It is pretty surreal walking around inside. You don't get to go upstairs though, but you get to walk through all other areas.
