This morning we drove out to the Brooks Museum to see a Linda McCartney exhibit. As you’d expect, there were heaps of Beatles photos, as well as the Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead and many others. I’m glad our museum choices are better than out movie choices. We drove downtown and went to Huey’s for lunch. Huey’s has a reputation for having the best burgers in town, and they did not let us down.
From lunch we went to the Lorraine Motel, site of the assignation for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The motel is now a civil rights museum showing the injustices of slavery, racism and apartheid. This was a really interesting and moving exhibit, which ends in the actual room where King was staying when he was murdered. Highly emotional to say the least!

After the museum we bid farewell to Memphis and headed off on our long unadventurous journey to Atlanta. We arrived just after midnight and settled in to Amy’s friend, Natalie’s, house.
