Chapter 2
Where was I? Oh yes, after a splendid lunch in Nashville we headed west digesting all the way. Now we determined Memphis was going to be our overnight allowing us to partake in the wild festivities of Beale Street.
Now this street was not unfamiliar to us. Many memories were forged there. I had a cousin and his family was from Memphis as were some close friends who had made Memphis their home.
Beale Street has it all restaurants, pubs, clubs, and dives. Enough to fill your appetite for fun and adventure. After some pulled pork and ribs and my partner had her catfish and greens, we took in some smooth sound at B.B. King’s Blues Club. It was time to rest.
The next day after a hearty breakfast, (life revolves around food, get the picture?) we headed to Graceland to pay homage to the King. What more can I say except I think I will flock felt the walls in our home or add pleated fabric just to maintain the memory. I still have a tear in my eyes just thinking of his presence.
Of course, we had to pass by Sun Records, it’s just the proper thing to do. It is Memphis!
And back on the road again.
