Road Trippin’: Knoxville to Memphis
Wednesday, June 25, 2008
Three weeks from today I’ll be making the trip from Knoxville to Memphis. I’m actually spending two nights in Memphis; there’s way too much to do there to simply spend one evening. Barbeque, soul music, and Elvis – Memphis is the city I’m most excited about.
Before getting to Memphis, however, I have to pass through Nashville. I want to have a picnic in front of the Parthenon, a replica of the Parthenon in Rome housed in the southwest corner of the city. If I make good time I’m going to stop at the Country Music Hall of Fame before lunch and wander the halls a bit. I’m not a hugs country music fan but, you know, when in Nashville.
Before getting to Memphis I’d like to stop off at the Rock-a-Billy Hall of Fame – a bit more my speed. That’s in Jackson, Tennessee. From there it’s a quick trip down to Memphis where I’ll be spending two nights in a hostel and my daytimes and evenings eating and touring. I’ll write more about my Memphis plans tomorrow.
