Adventures!

            Memphis is small, but had a few interesting areas.  Graceland cost $36 to get into and you can’t see it from the road…. but we were there! You can see the Heartbreak Hotel from the road, but can’t get anywhere near it… but we got some distant pictures! Not all is lost, the souvenir shops are open all the time for free!! I got my Elvis fill.
