This morning we left Nashville and arrived in Memphis in the
early afternoon. We have reservations at
a campground almost across the street from Graceland, how great is that? Our afternoon was free, so we are heading
downtown to the Peabody Hotel to see the ducks move from the fountain to the
elevator. They take the elevator to
their room on the top floor.
After setting up a red carpet and stairs and at the 5:00 pm
bell, the ducks come out of the fountain.
The ducks then are escorted along the red carpet to the elevator where
they head up to their room. Yes, they
have their own room in the hotel.
The lobby is very impressive, big chandeliers and furniture with
large open spaces and a mezzanine overlooking it all.
Since it is the beginning of October, Christmas ornaments
are for sale. In this case they represent
the ducks we saw earlier walking from the fountain to the elevator. The ornament looks like a yellow marshmallow
peep in a little bathtub, how cute is that?
While looking around the hotel, I came upon a number of
ceramics. I thought they look quite
nice. I’m not sure, but I think they are
Chinese characters. Some like the one on
the left, hold walking sticks or canes.
Leaving the hotel on our way back to the motor home for the
night, we take a route that we will pass Sun Recording Studios where Elvis
recorded his first record. It is closed
for the night, so we do not stop. We
were on Marshall Ave, stopped for a red light, at the corner with Union Ave
when I took this picture. In case you
ever want to visit, the address for Sun Recording Studios is 706 Union St.
