Going to Graceland

You never think you’ll find yourself driving down Elvis Presley Boulevard in Memphis on your way to Graceland. But today we did!

The house is much smaller than you think it will be. The decor is crazier than you think it will be (somebody once managed to sell the concept of shag-pile carpet on the ceiling and walls). The awards fill more wall space than you can imagine. The costumes are even flashier than you expect them to be. And in case you were wondering, no, he wasn't home...

We spent the afternoon in Memphis in the sunshine listening to live music in a park on Beale Street – a good way to spend a Wednesday afternoon.

Tomorrow we're taking a small detour to Kentucky to visit some family.
