Crossroads

We've just recovered from our 200 mile Elvis pilgrimage , did I say recovered, possibly in a week or so.
On Saturday we drove down to Memphis after experiencing the joy of Cracker Barrel restaurant en-route! The next day we rolled out of bed and walked down through a deserted Memphis to a deserted Beale Street for breakfast and then visited Sun records and the Museum of Rock and Soul and then a great evening in Rum Boogie listening to The Plantation Allstars.
Monday was a big day for us; all we did was visit Graceland. We got VIP passes and because it wasn't very busy we had the place pretty much to ourselves/ It would take too long for me to write about all the jumpsuits, gold records, planes, rooms and cheeseburgers but I will say I was very impressed.
On Tuesday we popped across the Misssississississsississpi to Arkansas for breakfast (at Waffle House) and then went to the Stax museum. Afterwards some locals drove into the back of our car and we drove into the 'hood before calling the police. We recovered from our ordeal by going to a Soul Food restaurant. In the evening we went to BB Kings Blues Club and saw a pop band ...
On Wednesday we went to the Civil Rights Museum and I hung out and took some pictures. We then drove down to the crossroads and then to Elvis Presley's birthplace in Tupelo. We eventually arrived in Nashville and I went to bed while Jo and Helen went to the bar!
On Thursday we went round the Country and Western Hall of fame and then a tour of RCA studio B (where Elvis recorded half of his records). In the evening we hit some bars and saw two and a bit bands.
After a bit of a lie in on Friday we took on the task of driving home and got back to a snowy/icy Stratford Landing about 2130!
