An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings
Memphis
Mr. Ol’ is heading back to Wisconsin this evening. So, instead of Jr and I driving back in the dark like I did last time, we came to Memphis early and are checked into a hotel. Lemme tell ya, there are some really nice places to stay in Memphis……this ain’t one of ‘em. But hey, by their prices, you’d think it is. sigh…
We had hoped to catch the ducks at The Peabody, but sadly, were about 30 minutes too late. Naturally, we got lost finding our hotel which made us late. 
With nothing better to do, and hunger knocking on ribs, the three of us decided to walk down to the serious tourist area, which was only about six blocks away.
We passed a park with a statue of Jefferson Davis:
Yeah, it was a bit cloudy at the time, but the sign said it was Davis, so I’m going to take their word for it.
We turned down Beale Street and came across a statue of…..who else…….?
Well, Elvis, of course.
We mosied on down the street, trying to pick a place to eat.
Honestly, there were way too many places to choose from, but the Mr. decided he wanted to try out a particular place, so, that’s where we ate. I honestly can’t remember the name. King something or other? Wasn’t bad, but I’ve had better ribs.
While we were waiting for our check, we happened to see…..
….a whole bunch of seasoned citizens dancing in the street. Hey, why not! They definitely had a lot more energy than we did at that point.
We’ve decided we’re going to have to come back and stay for a few days. There seems to be a WHOLE lot of touristy type stuff to see and do. Now that we’re getting our bearings, it should be a bit easier. Hopefully, the Mr will be down here on a permanent basis in a couple of months, but right now, he’s on a train, heading north.
