We had a little rain today traveling from Nashville to Memphis. Nothing major thank goodness. We settled into the hotel then headed for Graceland, home of Elvis. Had lunch in a little 50's diner before the tour. Stood in line about 30 minutes waiting for the shuttle to go across the road to the little mansion. Like many people have said, it wasn't a large place but quite interesting to see the house and grounds. After all, it was part of Elvis' legacy. :) It was HOT, hovering around 100. A heavy rain early this evening has cooled things down a bit.
With the CMA Fanfest in Nashville last week and over the weekend the crowd at Graceland was quite heavy. Lots of Elvis' cars were on display, even his private planes.
Tonight we ate at Neely's BBQ. Yep, "The" Neely's from the Food channel. They had just returned from a book tour and were taking a few days off, but brother Tony was there and came around to each table to chat a bit. A light crowd but perhaps the storms and rain kept them away. Good BBQ but we ate at Corky's BBQ in Nashville yesterday and they were equally good.
It was a fun day. Tomorrow off to Mt. Pleasant, TX to stay overnight and have dinner with my friend Michael. Wednesday Dallas TX and overnight with my cousin Michael. I don't know if I'll have access to internet at either place but every chance I have to sign on and write on this blogspot I will do so. Most places have internet access but some places don't.
