Memphis

We just visited Memphis, TN for the first time. What can I say. For starters let me assure you pictures will follow. Can you believe I forgot my card reader so I could not download my pictures.
The trip there was quite uneventful, more like boring. From our house to Birmingham there is very little. From Birmingham to Tupelo, MS there is nothing. Really there is nothing. An occasional gas station, no food, no stores, no nothing. For two hours after passing through Birmingham we just hoped and prayed for  something interesting. All we got was construction.
What can I say about Memphis? Hmm, not much. I only took about 40 pictures. Of course we went there for a concert and I could not bring my camera in so we had to pack it away in the car most of the time. We could not find any clear advantage points to take a night shot.
Memphis is a cool city. It has lots of neat architecture and I would imagine a lot to do if you are staying awhile. We walked the entire length of Beale Street which is a bunch of shops and bars and restaurants. There is a lot of history in town. Lots of history about the Blues. I think I would like to visit again some day, but I surely do not want to go through Alabama. Of course that is the most direct so I will probably have to go that way if I go back.

Silly me, John got some pictures so you are going to get one.
