Entering Graceland
We had big plans for our few days in the birthplace of Rock N Roll – Memphis – but two of those plans included tours of Graceland and the area of Beale Street. My husband was the instigator of this trip after indicating he would love to see Graceland, so that was one of the few things I arranged tickets for in the planning stages. Since I was there with girlfriends years ago, it has been renovated and enlarged and it was pretty impressive. I was just amazed that I didn’t remember how large it was and how long it took to stand in line for everything but then I found out later it had been completely remodeled and it all made sense then. I’m sure everyone has their own memories of Elvis’s death but it just happened that he died during our honeymoom. We were not huge fans but big enough that it was a shock when the news came on the radio and it just didn’t seem right that he died so long. We have been married for over 40 years now and it was amazing to us that there were still huge crowds seeing his home and all his memories this long after his death. But we were part of the crowd, so how can we judge?
