Happy birthday, Elvis! (Woow, is that Jack White over there?)

Yesterday we were on the road again, this time with Tracey joining us on tour for Nashville and Memphis. On our way to Nashville we stopped for lunch in the small town Paducah where everything seemed to be closed for holidays, even though it's a regular Monday. I guess they took an extra week off here. We did find an Italian place, after all, and the lunch wasn't too bad either.
We had dinner at the Merchants, Broadway Ave in Nashville and then we hung out at Legends Corner, one of the many famous joints here. Not too much people out on this Monday, but it was live music at almost all the places down the street. Today we went out and checked the many boots-, hats- and guitar stores of Nashville. Unfortunately the Hall of Fame museum was closed, but we managed to spend the day here anyway. On our way to Memphis we stopped right outside Nashville to have dinner at a place called Baja Burrito. Really good food here, although we had a hard time finding the place. Sometimes the GPS go nuts, but sometimes we just realize we wouldn't manage to get around without it. We were slightly surprised to find Jack White (White Stripes) and the rest of his band Raconteurs sitting at the table next to us in Baja. And guess what we've found out! We're actually going to Memphis on Elvis´ birthday, right on time there! We're heading west right now, and on our way we're heading through a terrible thunderstorm. Trucks are out of the road some places, and we hear on the news that tornadoes has damaged pretty big areas of both Wisconsin and Missouri.
