Last evening we went to listen to some live music on Beale St. It was great craic. Benjamin was keen to entertain too and he got his chance at the karaoke bar. Edith Piaf never sounded so good.
Today we had lovely warm weather. I think it was my first day that I didn't need to wear a hat! We visited the Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis. This is the site where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was shot. It was a great museum with lots of information on what is a continuing struggle for civil rights. We spent most of the day there.
Tonight we are going to a restaurant recommended by our friend Hillary for barbecued food. We're looking forward to it. We've tried lots of different foods since we've got here. My favourites so far have been hush puppies (nothing to do with dog meat) and candied yams.
