Elvis Week Is On. We arrived in Tupelo early this afternoon and were greeted by a 103 degree temperature and humidty you could cut a knife with. Despite that the drive was nice and my mother and I are very excited about beginning our annual pilgrimage to Memphis for Elvis Week.
We decided to stop by Tupelo first this time so we can attend the fan appreciation day tomorrow morning. We spent the afternoon revisiting the birth place as it has been a few years since we have had a chance to come here. The museum was nice and the renovations that have been done were very well designed. There was already a pretty large crowd and as usual we were greeted with the warm sound of many delightful accents from all over the world.
We then re-vistied Tupelo’s famed hardware store where the young Elvis had his first guitar bought for him and for the rest of the evening we are mostly just going to recover from the drive. I will post some more photos from our first afternoon later this evening and am looking forward to really getting things into full swing tomorrow when we drive into Memphis after the morning ceremony.
