Driving Crosscountry 2020 : Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee

First stop: Graceland! 

"We're going to Graceland,  Graceland / Memphis Tennessee / I'm going to graceland Poor boys and pilgrims with families / 
and we are going to Graceland." Paul Simon

Somewhere we've both always wanted to visit! And, wow, this gave new meaning to being a "fan" of someone. This surpassed even Dollywood with all of the different museums and merchandise and restaurants serving his favorite foods (yes, I did try his fried peanut butter and banana sandwich!) and homes and even PLANES!
"Saw the ghost of Elvis on Union Avenue. .."
"Followed him up to the gates of Graceland, /  and watched him walk right through. ..."
The AMAZING gates! All bricks filled with graffiti in honor of the king!
Some of the graffiti was amazing!
