First off today, Happy Birthday Michael. Hope it was a great one.

Left Little Rock today about 10:00am and drove to Memphis. Saw and crossed the Mississippi River for the first time. Took a cruIse down the Mississippi River. Would have loved to have done a night Dinner Cruise, but they on,ly do them right now on Saturday nights. We then took a trolley ride around the city, and went to the Peabody Hotel. Missed seeing the ducts, but we are having tea there tomorrow.

We then had dinner at the Charlie Vergo's Rendoveous Rib House. Wow, what BBQ'd ribs. Never tasted any like them. Bought their sauce and seasonings to bring home. Wonderful food. We then took a horse and carriage ride around the city. Wonderful time and our driver was full of information about the city. Also saw Beale street. Will visit it again tomorrow. I am so tired tonight. Will post more tomorrow.
