Feb 21 Memphis Graceland

Graceland , the home of Elvis Presley is open daily for tours.  It has been kept in the exact state and condition as it was when Elvis died. It is really just visiting a museum of a 1950's home decorated to Elvis's taste. The house as well as all of the other buildings have been loaded with memorabilia and quite interesting.  They receive about 600,000 visitors per year.

This is a meditation garden. Elvis, his mom and dad, his grandmother as well as his

They are all kept in a separate museum.
