Branson Mo

 Memphis
On the way to Memphis told Ed we could just drive by the gates of Graceland and I'd take a picture. But since we stayed at the Graceland RV park we decided to take the tour. We are both glad we did. It was very interesting and worthwhile.
 in the midBeale Street in Memphis is wild. We have been to 6th street in Austin, the lower district in Nashville but Beale is even wilder. About 3 blocks are closed off. Amazing blues and jazz in bars in alleys in the park, on the streets.  We had a great time

Yesterday we got to Branson in the early afternoon. We have been out of touch with news. We were aware there had been severe tornado's. The destruction is everywhere here. Half of the town is closed down and the other half is struggling. The RV park we are staying at is right down town. There are only 4 or 5 RV's but that is probably all they can handle. Only one bathhouse and bathroom is open. The whole backside of the office is ripped apart. It is very sad the town is like a ghost town.This is the start of there season. Talking to the manager here and she told me it took 2 months to get permits to start the repair work here. Most of the repair work just seems to be starting so that must be true for everyone.  

This last picture is for you Nancy thought you would get a kick out of it. Its a restaurant down the street. We are going out to a dinner show tonight. Tomorrow we head home. Should be there in 4 to 5 days unless we see something interesting. Will post if I can as we head home otherwise. I will contact everyone when we get home.
