Elvis is alive
Enfin presque.
Tout le monde connaît un peu Elvis, ou en a entendu parler à tout le moins. Mais la visite de Graceland, son lieu de résidence principal, nous apprend énormément sur lui. À voir tous les disques d'or et disques platines accroché un peu partout dans sa résidence, on se rend compte à quel point il était populaire. Mais ce qui … -

Who need's keys when you have crow bars....
Not a great start to the day! We were meant to be meeting at 10am so we got up early to go do laundry at the sister hotel next door. When we got back to the room to shower the door lock wouldn't open. I went down to reception and the lady tried to recharge my key, this didn’t work so she gave me a new key. This didn’t work either so up …

This wasn't even for us and the …

Between Beale Street and Oblivion
So here we are on day 2 in Memphis.
Yesterday we visited Sun Studios where Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee and many more recorded some amazing music that changed history... All the greats (and Bono) stood where we stood and although it was small, it was pretty overwhelming. The tour, allbeit brief was really cool and worth every penny.
