Memphis, Uh-huh

Richard is a big Elvis fan & so we agreed that for his & Rose's Birthday & Christmas present we would take them to Memphis to see the 'Home of the King', Graceland.

It took us about five hours to drive from St Louis, but this did include a stop at Sikeston for breakfast. The journey passes quite quickly as we were driving along a weather front & so spent most of the time looking at & driving through really bad weather. At times the rain was so heavy we had to slow to about 30 mph due to the greatly reduced visibility. It was really noticeable how flat the land was as we headed south & it was easy to see why this part of the US is called the 'Great Plains'.

We chose a tour that included the main exhibits at Graceland.
