Saturday - Part 1

Sorry - no Graceland. I got up early in the morning at went over to the Memphis Fire Department Memorial. It's a large sculpture on the side of the Fire Museum that is probably about 25 feet tall. I also looked around the museum. They have a few really old fire trucks and some great interactive fire safety stuff for the kids.




When I finished there, it was time to go over to the Peabody Hotel for the famous duck march. They have five ducks that live in a penthouse suite on the top floor. Every morning at 11:00, they roll out the red carpet and march the ducks down the elevator to the lobby fountain. They take them back up at 5:00 each evening. It is quite a production and they have been doing this for something like 70 years.




After that, I ate at Rendezvous BBQ in an alley basement. I had a pulled pork sandwich, rice and beans, slaw and beans. Pretty good. I would have had the "famous" charcoal ribs, but didn't feel like a $20 lunch. Overall, I would be just as happy with Texas BBQ. http://www.hogsfly.com/

When I got done with lunch I headed out of town and back toward Arkansas.
