Memphis is the home to Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley, Blues, Brews and Bar-B-Ques. We had a great stay there.
We went to Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley and took the tour. I'm not a big Elvis fan, but going through his house and museums gave me a bigger appreciation for him. He was a very generous person and it seemed like he really enjoyed life. He also had some great dance moves, flashy Vegas suits, and nice cars.
We also went downtown and walked up and down Beale Street and saw some neat restaurants and blues bands were playing up and down the street. It was an awesome cultural experience. Then we went into the Peabody Hotel. That is a luxury hotel that has a funny tradition. Every day at 11am, they have a few ducks that live upstairs in the hotel that make their way down the elevator and into a fountain in the lobby and then at 5pm, they go back into the elevator and go back to their room. It was very cute watching the ducks walk down the red carpet. After the ducks, we had some Memphis-style BBQ at a place called Rendezvous and it was delicious!!
