Arrived in Memphis at the Tom Sawyer RV Pk. Saturday, we took a tour of Memphis, this town is really rundown. We got to walk down Beale street this is the motley crew on Beale St. , get out at the information center where there is a big statue of Elvis and B. B. King , Went to the Peabody Hotel watched the Ducks come out of the elevator and get into the fountain in the lobby, they come down at 11AM and go back up to the penthouse(Roof) at 5 PM, drove by the pyramid,drove by the motel where Martin Luther King was killed, stopped at the St. Jude's hospital we couldn't go into the hospital we went into the shrine that was built for Danny Thomas and his wife with a beautiful garden it showed the research,the developing of the hospital some of the story's from the different families,they have hotels for the parents of the children in the hospital this is no cost to the parents,drove by Graceland to see Elvis's House, the trees were so big you couldn't see a thing. We got to see the jails around Memphis, this was not the best tour we have been on. Sunday morning we had a good rain storm. Where we are parked we can watch the barges go up and down the river. They are pushing 24 hrs. a day. Today is the last day we will all be together. Dave and Eva are heading for New Mexico, Doris and Rudy are going with us to Little Rock, Ark. and then across Oklahoma.
