Beale Street...

We couldn't leave Memphis without stopping off at Beale Street...

The atmosphere was amazing - blues music blasting out everywhere and people all of the place. The street has been pedestrianised and somehow people are allowed to walk around drinking and take drinks from bar to bar... which made for some great people watching.

We had a wee bite to eat before we headed back on the road - we thought we'd try some of the local cuisine so we had crawfish tails and gator chips... deep fried ALIGATOR!!! It tasted like really gamey, slightly fishy chicken.

As the sun started setting we made our way back to the car for the long drive back to Nashville, Tennessee Day 2 was blummin' brilliant! Now we couldn't wait for Day 3 (but we couldn't wait for a big sleep first)!
