Graceland, Memphis, TN

July 6th, Monday

Long driving, once again. 9 hours in the bus, we didn't even blink. We're seriously getting used to it. 

  At 4, we finally arrived to Memphis, TN! We went to visit Graceland, Elvis Presley's home.

  We had a 3 hour tour there. First, they gave us iPads that had a prerecorded tourguide on it, and we walked through the mansion while listening to the narration. 

  It felt weird to walk where the King of rock and roll lived. It was interesting though. So many fans visit this place annually. 

  I don't consider myself a fan of him, but I do like his music. He was/is an idol to a lot of people, and he was pretty cool. But his fame was even bigger because of his death, and that's really sad. He had everything anybody could ever wish for.

  So I walked through his kitchen, I've been in his yard, and I took pictures in front of his house, that was named after his grandma. The tour ended at his grave, where he's buried next to his family. 

  We spent a little time looking at his cars, and then we went to the hotel. It was 7:30, when we got there. I joined a big group going to the Applebee's next door for dinner. We had an early curfew, because of noise complaints from the days before. Tonight we had a roommate change, my new roomates are Annelien (Belgium) from my district, Ceci (Mexico), and Candela (Spain). It's a very good room, I like all the girls, they're very nice.
