Day 4, Memphis (Graceland and Sun Recording Studio)

Oct. 2, 2011

This morning we left the hotel at 9:20am and picked up the church-goers on our way to Graceland.



We visited Elvis Presley's amazing Graceland, the King's final resting place. Graceland is a one-of-a-kind journey through Elvis' humble beginnings and rise to superstardom with an up-close and personal look at his influence which forever changed music.

Then a visit too Sun Recording Studio in the afternoon. This is where the recording careers of Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley (and many others) began.  A very small building for all it accomplished.



At 5pm we went to the Peabody Hotel to see the ducks walk the red carpet from the fountain in the lobby to the elevator to their penthouse on the roof. (Google it!)  Tons of people in the lobby to witness this daily event.
