We couln't help but dance in Memphis today. What a rich history. There are all sorts of museums here along with all sorts of places to see. We will have to make it to Graceland, the Gibson guitar factory, the Civil rights museum and so much more!! We learned all about the King of Rock and Roll. Elvis lived quite a life and even served his country for 6 years. We met Samantha Presley and she told us all about his life.
There is a rich history here with music and the Civil Rights Movement. The more you explore this city the more amazing it becomes!
