Graceland


We were in Memphis. We had to do it. A visit to Graceland - former home (now shrine) of Elvis. Our friends John and Lucille, long term residents of Memphis had never been, so they joined us, and were we all surprised. A smaller home than we imagined, with 70's decor that I did expect. But the real surprise was how much he did in his short life - the number of movies he made, the records he sold, the charities he donated to. Then, on the way out - his grave. I don't know why, but we didn't expect that. Elvis has not left that building!
