FULL DESCRIPTION
I was really amused with all of Memphis and what it had to offer as far as the museums and the bar-b-que. the jazz the Blues. I could just feel the free spirit of the people of Memphis that I was exposed to. Everyone was so friendly. The music was the boom. I guess that I was just over whelmed with all of the history, from Martin Luther King to Elvis Presley, and loved those grilled peanut butter and banana sandwiches. I loved the concerts by the river. Memphis I will be back......... Thank You
