became quite comfortable with each other, each adding our own personal odor to the lovely stench the
bus gives off. But we survived! We stunk, but we survived. How many miles did we drive? We don't know.
Which state were we in at any given time? We had no idea. How much longer did we have left? That we
knew! Anyway, after a long 36 hours we arrived at Graceland, Memphis, home to the one and only, ELVIS
PRESLEY. uuuuuuuh huh. (insert hip swivel). Some of us signed our names on the wall surrounding
Elvis's estate, and others ate burgers. (Cough, Jake, cough). We then made our way over to the Civil
Rights Museum, guided around by the one and only Ryan, (not Epp, but the tour guide Ryan, though I'm
sure giving Epp Ryan the chance he would have loved to enlighten us with all those random facts he
keeps in that head of his) who astounded us all with his vast knowledge of American history. He was
craaaaaaaazy smart! Needless to say we all learned a lot! The best part came when Reverend Samuel
"Billy" met us at the end of the tour. He was on the balcony when Martin Luther King Jr. was
assassinated. There were three men on the balcony, and he is the only one still alive. Some of us were
uber pumped to shake his hand. He's the guy we're all standing around in the picture you see. He was
real sweet! After the Civil Rights Museum, we went to our hotel and took our long awaited showers. It
was pure bliss! We then went out to eat, and have been enjoying some free time for the last few hours
before kick in. Tomorrow we head to the French Quarters at 7 in the morning for a 6 hour bus ride.
Golly Gee we love that bus! Well, that's all for today folks. See y'all later!
For the group,
Jenna Dueck and Nicole Brockman
