the day i finally get to graceland among other things

we go to a terrible continental breakfast at the heartbreak hotel restaurant called "the jungle room". Then we walk to graceland, or rather the ticket booth. we wait on line a long time, on many different lines, but I am too excited. I do a lot of pacing bouncing and foot tapping. we take a shuttle across the street to graceland. let me just say that mr. presley had a wonderful decorating sense. The actual jungle romm has green shag carpet on the floor and ceiling. The basement is all navy blue and bright yellow with a lightning bolt and an acronym "t.c.b.", or taking care of business, painted on the wall. He turned the shed in the backyard into a smoking room, for meats and things, and then later to a shooting room. we also get to see his famous gold suit. what a man... then we see his private jets and his car collection. after we take a tourist shuttle to sun studio, where we get another tour. they play tracks of original recordings and we stand in the exact place where rock and roll was born. after we get back on the shuttle and go to beale street where i have the most delicious hot dog ever. we walk around. we walk to family dollar, through an abandoned outdoor shopping mall. we walk back to the to the shuttle. back at the cabin we watch a john wayne movie and look up new orleans attractions. then we sleep.
