Day 4
Sept 11, 2010
0 miles
Slept in today, I think riding in the rain makes you more tired. I didn't ride the motorcycle today, although about half in our group did ride to Graceland and a Harley dealership in Mississippi--they rode in rain again this morning. I rode the trolly in Memphis instead.
Went down to Beale street for lunch, I was lookin for ribs. 
Found those ribs at the Rum Boogie Cafe. Yum! Spent the afternoon checking out the stores and blues joints there on Beale street.
I met Clyde Hopkins, the Godfather of the Blues. He has a gold note on the sidewalk with his name and title on it (like a Hollywood Star, but blues in Memphis). I listened to his music and bought his CD. The gal in the store told me about Robert Plant coming in this summer and showed me her picture with him. This town isall about music and barbeque. Love it!
We ate dinner, ribs again, at the famous Rendezvous. Rode the trolly along the riverfront after dinner, then some walking, back to Beale street.
Beale street was really hopping as the sun went down. Heard a couple more blues bands, walked around looking at the crowd, then back to the hotel. Leaving bright and early for the ride home in the morning--Nancy says we're taking the scenic route, and the weather forcast is for sun!
