May 29, Memphis, Tennesse

We left Arkansas this morning headed for Memphis and Grace Land. The road was narrow, winding and hilly for the first hour or so. There are no shoulders on most of the roads we have traveled in Arkansas, so it has been impossible to pull over to take photos today. We never saw a "Welcome to Tennessee" sign. I had my camera on and was ready to get the shot.

We were a little anxious traveling in the city of Memphis, but managed to find the Grace Land RV Park. We are camped right by Grace Land and will do the tour tomorrow.

Today we are just resting from the traveling and doing the laundry. At least we had some blue sky and sunshine when we got up this morning and had a cloud cover for a small portion of the trip. It is 84 degrees here in Memphis today, so we are using the air conditioner. At least the sky is blue and it's not so humid as the past week had been.

We had our first meal at one of the diners featured on "Drive-ins, Diners & Dives", a Food Channel program we like to watch. This one is Jim Neely's Interstate Bar-B-Que. One of their dishes is Bar-B-Que Spaghetti. Dan had the spaghetti and I had the pork ribs. The ribs and cole slaw were delicious, The spaghetti...interesting.
Look for photos tomorrow,
