Hola, my little smurfs.
This is just a quick post to say yo - yo! - and let you know we made it to (hot, very hot) Memphis a few hours ago, but are experiencing some technical difficulties at our fancy convention center Marriott. No long post with photos quite yet, sorry.
Real quick - Memphis is EXACTLY how I pictured it. It feels very steeped in American history and culture and great people, passion and soul. It also sort of looks like a music video. We went to the Civil Rights Museum, which is located at the Lorraine Motel where Dr. Rev MLK was shot. It was an amazing experience; moving and intense. We walked out feeling pretty overwhelmed. It was, I feel, the most proper intro to Memphis.
We walked it off and bellied up to the Marriott bar for a couple cocktails and now are going to get ready to hit Beale Street. Tomorrow is Sun Records and GRACELAND! I have my outfit all picked out already.
Ciao, buddies.

P.S. Thanks for all of the positive feedback on this travel blog. I am SO glad you are enjoying reading it. I'm having a total blast with it. I feel more connected to what I'm doing and seeing, to you guys, and to also Shorty for some reason. "Sisters in blog" we are.

Paint your pictures with WORDS, yo!
No need for no fancy cameras. Besides, I'm from the South. I know what it looks like. Let me hear it through your voice!
