Memphis Tennessee is home to music legends, Elvis Presley, B.B. King and Johny Cash. Recording studios galore, and a long list of sights to see, but only a few hours to explore. After all this is not a vacation, but a "tour de water" to raise funds for people without excess to safe drinking water! Graceland the homestead of Elvis Presley, king of rock and roll, is buzzing with thousands of visitors, paying homage to this famous rock star. This museum like theme park boasts his home, his car collections and airplanes, platinum recording albums, Elvis costumes, his guitars and many other memorabilia. Then it was on to downtown and the civil rights museum, next to the Loraine hotel, where Dr. Martin Luther King was slained and now memorialized, a somber and sober place of remembrance. And last but not least a visit to Beale street, where life music reverberates from every restaurant and cafe. Memphis, a swinging and historic city with much to do, but for now that was all I had time for.
