First stop, of course, Graceland.
It was too early for the tour, but we stopped the car and admired the wall surrounding the mansion. All matter of graffiti, from visitors from all over the world. We resisted the temptation.
It was in a pretty seedy part of town (Memphis, seems to me, is pretty seedy all over, but perhaps there's an area where the bankers live.) Graceland, with its expansive, shady grounds, looks pretty good.
A quick drive to the park along the banks of the Mighty Mississippi (I just love to type that word!) and a chance to get out and view its majesty. Big river.
We got on the bridge and, halfway across, passed a big sign saying "Welcome to Arkansas." Ahhh, Bill Clinton's land.
