Southern Fried Roadtrip

Adam and I went on a roadtrip, mostly through Tennessee.
Our adventures took us from Atlanta Georgia, to Chattanooga, TN, where we visited Rock City ("See Rock City"). We purchased tickets for Ruby Falls at that time, but later realized we didn't have time to take to Ruby Falls Tour. We returned our tickets and from there we continued to Lynchburg, TN. This is the home of the Jack Daniels Distillery. It is also a dry county. Weird. We toured the facility and enjoyed a refreshing glass of lemonade at the end. We traveled to Nashville, and met up with Elaine Woo. She took us to a multitude of bars that celerate southern culture. We rode mechanical bulls, listened to Bluegrass music and watched drunk hillbillies dance and shour "Ring of fire" and "Sweet Home Alabama". After Breakfast at the Red Rooster the next Morning, Adam and I went to Memphis. First stop Graceland. Amazing. No flash photography, which explains all my dark, blurry and underexposed pictures. Cool stuff. Please especially note that Elvis's TCB (Takin' care of business) symbol is on his grave. After this life changing experience, we went to the famous Sun Studios, where people like Elvis, Johnny Cash, B.B. King, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ike Turner and many others got their starts. The tour guides first name was "Eldorado". He offered to buy us coffee. After this we cruised all around Memphis, including the "No Crusing Zone". Seriously, we were walkin' in Memphis. We saw the ghost of elvis on Union Avenue. Followed him up to the gates of Graceland, watched him walk right through. Actually, I think that is too far to walk. Instead we went up Beale street, which is now touristy and gentrified. Then we walked up the bank of the Mississippi. We drove to Arkansas for dinner at a Waffle House. I had a waffle. The next day we drove to Ann Arbor Michigan, Stopping fo rhte Jim Beam Distillery and in Indianapolis to visit Adam's mom. I returned to New York the next day.
