Well this was to be our fun day in Memphis and we started at 9:00 am heading for Graceland. It was a little cloudy and had just rained so the tops stayed up.
The pictures are:
1. The living room at Graceland.
2. Some of the gold records and clothes of Elvis.
3. The ducks leaving the Peabody Hotel fountain in the lobby.
4. Party on the roof of the Hotel
We spent from 9:15am until 3:00pm and what fun we had. I was a fun time and we walked and walked and walked.
After Graceland, we went downtown to the Peabody Hotel and sat in their magnificent lobby until 5:00pm when it was time for the famous ducks to leave the fountain in the center of the hotel and go to the roof for the evening. The ducks come down every day at 11:00am and go back at 5:00pm. Dozens and dozens of people watched the ducks leaving on a red carpet to the elevator.
We went to dinner at a famous rib place and it was fine but not the best as far as we were concerned. The 17th Street Bar & Grill in O’Fallon was better.
The downtown was filled with horse drawn carriages and Carol had never been on one so we took a tour of the city in one for 30 minutes.
Then we went to the Peabody roof top for an open air party.
Then it was down to Beale Street, much like New Orleans and finally back to the hotel.
We leave at 7am for Bowling Green. Night, Night.
