Memphis, Land of Elvis?

When we told people that we were headed to Memphis, all they could talk about was Elvis--the King of Rock n' Roll. Dan and I felt obligated to stop by Graceland. We left our visit wondering which was more interesting, Elvis' house or the people at Graceland? http://www.elvis.com/

Another "must do" in Memphis is the Bar-B-Que. Dry ribs are the legendary bar-b-que of choice in Memphis. Having tasted them for my first time, I found the blend of spices on the ribs unique, but I do prefer my ribs wet. The ribs were, nevertheless, delicious. Dan deemed them the best that he's ever tasted.
