Melting in Memphis

Yow, it has been really hot in Memphis; we moved slowly and ducked
into air-conditioning every chance we got. We visited Beale Street
late afternoon and early evening. Mostly listened to Blind
Mississippi Morris at BB King's. Went to Riverside Park to watch
sunsetting over the Mississippi, but we were just too dagum hot to
patiently wait. Anyway, we can take photos of sunsets over the river
from our own dock.

Graceland was interesting. Not nearly as big as I would have
thought. But the airplanes were kind of over the top, with gold
bathroom fixtures. And who knew so much Elvis "stuff" was available
to buy??!

This is probably our final tourist stop. We got a good Priceline deal
here, although not in the best neighborhood. If the weather holds out
we'll have two nights in the tent coming up. It may surprise you, but
I've missed camping since thunderstorms drove us into motels.
Hopefully we'll have a big camping finale for our trip!
