Memphis


Downtown Memphis wasn't all too good. Although the city has got a lot of restaurants and bars, they all are spread around. And with a lot of open spaces in between the impression of the city was a slight disappointment after beeing in the way more progressive and dense Nashville. We didn't find very much to do in Memphis. Exept Graceland. What a lovely trip out there! Weather's still awesome, and to visit Graceland the day after Elvis' birthday was a funny experience. We did the Platinum Tour through the Mansion house, the backyards, the gravesite, the airplanes, the car museum and even the sincerely Elvis costume gallery. What a great tour. We shot a lot of pictures here. The funniest part about places like this is to see all the other visitors. Here comes really old women dressed in Elvis t-shirts and leather jackets. Pretty awesome costumes for some of them here.

After visiting Graceland Guro had lunch with Tim from Beaver productions while Tracey and Magnus went to a place called Cafe 66. Here we had some excellent southern food, jambalaya and cobbalt, and later in the afternoon, we left Tracey on the Greyhound bus station for her to go back to St. Louis, while we're heading for Little Rock, Arkansas. Goodbye Tracey, it's been great having you with us on this trip. Have a nice ride back with the Greyhound, I hope it's gonna be an exciting but safe first tour with it.
