Hotel fine things look better this morning although it is still raining. After breakfast we go in the hotel shuttle bus to the rock and soul museum. We loved the museum we spent the morning there and could have stayed longer! It had memorabilia from the beginnings of soul and rock music up to the present time and loads of information about different stars. You could also listen to music. Fascinating. We reluctantly left the museum and walked to Beale Street where nearly every bar or restaurant has live music playing it was amazing. We went into BB King's Bar and had lunch. I had Gumbo (a hot spicy stew with crawfish,sausage vegetables and spices)with some rice it was delicious.
After lunch we wandered in a couple of stores and then made our way to the civil rights museum which incorporates the building where Luther King was assassinated.
It was so moving we spent the afternoon there reading,looking at pictures watching videos. They have some amazing sets we felt emotionally drained at the end of the afternoon.
The shuttle from the hotel picked us up and we got back in time for happy hour....
