Last Taste of the South

Here are a few photos from last week that I've been meaning to post. We camped outside Memphis and did a bit of site-seeing the next morning on our way out of town. We drove through Arkansas on our way to Texas, where we stayed a night with Larie, an old friend from back in our Salem days.

1) Sun Studios, where music greats like Johnny Cash and Elvis launched their recording careers.

2) Dr. King was shot at the Lorraine Motel and it now houses the National Civil Rights Museum, located inside the hotel where Dr. King was shot.

3) Fried green tomatoes - just like in the movie. We stopped for lunch in Arkansas and I dined on catfish, hushpuppies and onion rings, along with the tomatoes (all fried, of course). We couldn't leave the south without tasting a few of the specialties. We did pass on ordering the fried pickles, though.
