This morning we set out in search of Elvis. We were not disappointed. We drove into the gates at Graceland and immediately could hear him singing over the loudspeaker. We got our tickets and waited to get on the bus that would take us across the street to the mansion. Once inside, it is almost like you’ve stepped inside of a time machine. Everything appears to have been left just as it was in the 60s and 70s when Elvis and his family lived there. There are some pictures of the inside of the mansion below.
After taking the tour we decided to get on our way to New Orleans! We headed due south through Mississippi and took right at the Louisiana border. We are staying in a lovely little inn in the French Quarter and it is like stepping back in time in the courtyards and quaint rooms.
We unloaded our stuff and turned right around and headed out to Bourbon Street. If you’ve never been to New Orleans, it is a sight to behold. There are some things that are seen that one wishes they could un-see! But it is an amazing atmosphere like no other you will ever experience. Here are some scenes from the middle of the chaos:
Tomorrow we get up early to make the drive to Arlington, TX, where we will watch the Texas Rangers take on the Chicago White Sox. We will then be on the downward slide towards home! Pun intended.
Pepe and waffles, it looks to me like yall are truly having an amazing time! I can only hope that yall are! Its hurts to see my bestie gone, but its warming to know that he is with the one that he loves!
