“Put on my blue suede show and I boarded a plane, touched down in the land of the Delta blues in the middle of the pouring rain.” Walking in Memphis was a song I just loved to listen to on the radio. Back when I had the freedom and careless ways of a single guy, I decided to travel the US and see some places that I heard mentioned in songs. Memphis was on the the list because I just loved the song and I decided to go to Memphis and take a few Memphis city tours.
I went to the Sun Studios where Elvis first started recording along with other greats like Carl Perkins. After that I went to visit Graceland. Graceland is everything you imagine and more. It was awesome. I also made it to Al Green’s Full Gospel Tabernacle Church for a sermon by one of the most famous singing pastors. The church experience was rocking and full of soul. On Monday morning, I got to wander around downtown Memphis just looking around at everything around me. Walking down Beale Street, it truly felt like I was walking through a dream, 10 feet over the street. It was awesome.
It took a lot of work doing the tours on my own and I really don’t suggest it. It makes sense to use Trusted Tours & Attractions. They have several different sightseeing tours in Memphis and around the US. Right now they are running a promotion that when you sign up for their newsletter, you can win a handheld GPS. Get great information on tours and get a chance to win a handheld GPS, now that’s an great offer.
