Memphis, Tennessee

18.July 2010 - Memphis


Yeah, Memphis. This time, we're staying in a less big city. But again, here's something popular: the Mississippi River. This morning we even experienced a sunrise there. Look at the picture!
I read at an information board that here the " World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest" takes place, which is in fact the largest in the world. Sounds like everything's about eating here - at least in a certain season.
Memphis is also very famous for its musical legends such as Elvis Presley or Johnny Cash. There must be inspiration to be found here.
Anna and me really enjoy the stay in Memphis because it's not that noisy and strenuous as in Chicago. Though, Memphis as a smaller city is still a lot bigger than our hometown Amberg.
We'll already move on tomorrow with a group of Australians who is also here. They have a bus and so they offered to take us with them to Dallas. Texas, here we come!
