Part Seven - Memphis


Memphis is in Tennessee right on the banks of the Mississippi River. It is a big city, probably a little bigger than Louisville. We spent a day looking around and visiting some of the tourist spots. We caught this monorail out to 'Mud Island' which is just a piece of land jutting out into the river.



This statute is in the Visitors Center. It is easy to see that the tourism in Memphis is based on it being the home of Elvis.



Beale Street, a famous musical street full of shops with lots of, you guessed it, Elvis merchandise.
