We had already crossed and stayed overnight in Mississippi on our way to New Orleans, and we travelled across the Magnolia State again on our way to Memphis in Tennessee.
I do not remember our journey across Mississippi or Tennessee. I remember getting to Memphis, where we would visit Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley. Graceland was one of the places I chose to visit on our tour across America. I was a big Elvis fan and was excited about seeing where he lived.
When we arrived in Memphis, I think we stopped off at Sun Studios to see where Elvis Presley recorded some of his early records. I don't remember much about this apart from going up to the window of the studios with Mum and Dad and being very bored. We couldn't go inside, and I wasn't very interested in it. I was glad when we got back in the car to go to Graceland.
When we arrived at Gracelands, we parked in a parking lot opposite it and walked across. I rememberย that my sister and I had our photo taken in front of the famous gates. Like Elvis Presley, the image was lost many years ago, but I still remember both. I was in awe for my entire trip to Graceland and remember walking around the grounds. I met Vester Presley whileย I was at Graceland, who was working there at the time.ย
When we left Memphis, we headed west towards Arkansas.
