Now in Nashvlle. And yes, the 'i' is silent here. Practice with me - 'Nash-vlle'.
From Austin to Texarkana, TX, to Memphis to Nashvlle. Was a pretty easy trip with zero incidences. Knock on wood for me please!! And I passed these businesses along the way - who knew Arkansas was such a popular place.
Didn't get the camera out soon enough for the Caterpillar factory.
While in Memphis, I just happened to stay across the street from Graceland. Not a big Elvis fan, but thought I had better take advantage as I was so close. The house was actually pretty modest except for the Jungle room with the Tiki chairs, wood carved tables and carpet on the ceiling. Apparently he recorded his last album in that room. One thing that I didn't know was that he never performed outside of the US. I was surprised by that with his level of popularity. People are CRAZY for the guy.
Flowers and chotzkys (?) are sent on a DAILY basis from fans all over the world. They actually put them around his gravesite. Germany, Japan, etc. His parents are buried next to him, plus there is a marker for his stillborn twin brother. Didn't know that about him either. Am glad I took the time.
Then it started to rain and continued to rain the entire journey to Nashvlle. Not horrible but made me hyper sensitive. Had another trailer casualty yesterday - the little cover that goes on the water inlet spout blew off. Oh well - picked up another for $2.44. And I'm back on track.....
Sightseeing today. Must get to planning my day. Ya'll have a good one!!
Thanks for reading.......
