Home of "The King" - Graceland



Hi All

Well here we are in hot steamy Memphis Tennesssee, home of the King, the late great Elvis Aaron Presley. Today we visited his home Graceland which was really great because whether you are an Elvis fan or not there is no question the man changed the face of modern music and for thousands of musicians that followed in his footsteps.

Just to walk through the trophy rooms was an eye opener and a privelge to witnesses just how great his successes were and how humble he remained through it all. At the beginning and the end he was still a good countery boy!

After our Graceland visit we meet up with some friends of Tessa's daughter over lunch and then went back to their home for a relaxing afternoon, thanks Katie & Mike for your hospitality.

If we get up early enough tomorrow before our trip to Nashville I would like to visit the Museum of Blues Music.

All for now
David & Tessa
