more memphis, graceland


Elvis's piano

TV room




Elvis has left the building

Nov 25,Memphis

Today we were up at 5am and on the road by 6:30. Arrived in memphis at 12 noon and after a quick lunch headed overto tpour graceland and look for Elvis.The tour was better than expected and saw lots of old video of elvis performing on stage. Graceland is deceiving .. kind of plain inside (one room not so much plain) but very big and i'm sure state of the art in it's day. Huge property.After tour and supper at 5.. knock on the door.. trailer beside us had NB plates.. they had to meet us to find out where from nb we were from.. they were from the moncton area and we visited with them for about 1 hour.



Thought we made a wrong turn

                                                       Arrived at rv park,Memphis
