Memphis

We only rode 41 miles on Saturday and then we were in Memphis. It's a fun and interesting city so we stayed 2 nights. They have a real coffee shop! We went to the Mississippi River Museum and figured out a lot more of what we've been seeing and what is yet to come. We learned even more Civil War history and also about French and Spanish explorers and native Americans along the Mississippi. 
We had breakfast at the oldest restaurant in Memphis (95) and saw where MLK was shot and where they filmed "The Firm". We also listened to some blues and learned more about the Memphis music scene. 
We had some fresh salads which may be the last for a while and had Memphis ribs and red beans and rice for dinner. Now we're all set to cross the bridge into Arkansas tomorrow.

  1. congrats on another (almost) another state line crossing! I keep having to look at a map to see how all these state lines fit together.
