Walking in Memphis...

We

spent two nights in Memphis - what a COOL COOL place. First night we

We all got fully tarted up and went down historic Beale St to BB Kings to hear some blues

had a pimps and hoes night so we all got fully tarted up and went down

historic Beale St to BB Kings to hear some blues then out to Karaoke

then to another bar (yes, more tequila). It is a mini New Orleans but

apparently a lot cleaner. Yesterday we were at GRACELANDS! What an amazing, awe-inspiring

place to be. It has such an amazing energy to it. I love it there.

Everyone should see it. Took soooo many pictures. Elvis had a

wonderful home. After that we went to see the spot where Martin Luther King was

assinated and met Jacqueline Smith. For those of you who've not heard

of her she has been campaigning for 17 years for the Lorraine Motel to

no longer be a civil rights museum and for the money spent to go into a

community centre which is what MLK would have wanted. Also saw Sun Studios which the music fans will know is such a

lengendary recording studio in American music history. So many artist

from Elvis, to U2 to BB King have recorded there. Went and hung out in Beale St againt o hear some blues. Love it.

Especially that you can drink in the streets here. Then we went out for

Thai and to Flying Saucers this wild beer joint. Beautiful weather

here too - just hot and balmy.
