Monday April 7

Set off for Clarksdale this morning, only half an hour away. The rain has stopped but it is very cloudy.
We visited the Delta Blues Museum and spent about an hour and a half looking at the exhibits and listening to video and music clips. It was an interesting place.
Next up was a two hour drive to Tupelo (still in Mississippi) to visit Elvis's birthplace. The simple two room house is still there and the land around it was purchased and made into a park. They moved the church he used to go to, from a block away, into this park. A museum has been built with exhibits and a short movie of "the early days", also the usual gift shop. An interesting stop, but nothing like Graceland.
We continued on to Jackson, Tennessee for overnight.
