ELVIS' BIRTHPLACE

Monday, June 14th, Sue and I went to visit Elvis Presley's birthplace in Tupelo. Our driver Mike took us there and then out to lunch. We got to see the Church where Elvis found his love for music, an Elvis museum, and we saw the house where he was born. The house consists of just 2 rooms, a kitchen and a bedroom and cost his father $180 to build. It is small. Really small.

After the touring, we went to a bar/restaurant named "The Stables". Apparently, it used to be the livery stables many years ago. There were pictures on the wall from the old days and the way it looked back then. It's across the street from the courthouse, so lots of lawyers eat there. Mike drove us around Tupelo and pointed out the highlights. We had a very enjoyable day and are grateful to Mike for his time and patience with us.
