We drove to Memphis, TN in about 3 hours. It was an easy drive but a bit longer than we expected.
The tour through Graceland was all that one would expect. It was an extravagancza of Elvis everywhere. His home was decorated as it would have been in the 70’s. Green shag rug, blue curtains, gold and white flamboyant decorations. Elvis was singing in every room with family photos all around. The home was actually a lovely country home with horses in the back. Except for the decorations, the home could be a beautiful southern estate. The house was being decorated with Christmas decorations. All BLUE, a tribute to his song, I am sure.
The best part of our Memphis visit was the evening walk on Beale Street and listening to Blues Music. I had Red Beans and Rice at the Rum Boogie Cafe. Mark had Gator Gumbo. This was the best Cajun food we have had in a long time. The music was energetic and fun. Personally, I enjoyed the Blues music much better than the Country Music of Nashville. The musicians seemed to be enjoying themselves and sharing their talents personally with the audiences. It was an amazing evening of good food and great music.
