Memphis - Day 2

Today we went to Graceland.  That's right, Elvis's home.  It was interesting, albeit touristy.  Considering his wealth, the home is not huge or over-the-top.

The Living Room

The Kitchen

The ultimate was a tribute to Elvis by Mr. Potato Head.

We then went to Sun Music Studio, really considered the birthplace of Rock and Roll.  The vast majority of early Rock and Roll superstars cut their records here.  Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins and B.B. King, just to name a few.

We then went to the Civil Rights Museum which is located at the former site of the Lorraine Motel where Martin Luther King was shot.  This was quite moving and hard to believe that this happened in the "Land of the Free".
