Traveling...

Hi All! We're making our way cross-country, destination Rochester NY, where we'll be for the next year. We decided to take our time and stop at Memphis and Nashville, two places we've always wanted to go. Right now we're in Memphis, we arrived Friday (July 1), we'll be leaving tomorrow morning. We've had a wonderful time, Memphis is such an interesting city rich with history. Yesterday, we saw the Rock 'N Soul Museum, which is a Smithsonian museum, and it shows. Tons of great information and neat things to look at. Today we went to Sun Studios, where the first Rock 'N Roll song was recorded.

Elvis and Johnny Cash got their start there, and it was incredible being in the same room where all those legendary recording sessions took place.

We then went to Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken. It was a long wait in the hot sun, but it was worth it a hundred times over. Not only was it the best fried chicken we'd ever had, it was one of the best meals we've had, period.

 

Next was the Gibson guitar factory. They make all of Gibson's hollow body and semi-hollow body guitars there, as well as double-neck guitars. We were able to see how the guitars are made, from a few pieces of wood to beautiful hand-crafted instruments. We couldn't take any pictures inside because they have strict no-filming policies.

So tomorrow it's to Nashville. We'll make updates as we can, stay tuned!
