Day 3: Memphis and Little Rock

Today we woke up and ate breakfast in the talbot heirs room, elizabeth was glad to ge thte chance to check her email. after that we left for the gibson plant and the rock adn soul museum. we discovered taht the 11:00 tour was full so we bought tickets for the next one and then went to the Rock and soul museum for an hour. The rock and soul museum had an audio tour so we both learned about the development of soul, blues, country and then rock and roll in and around Memphis. we some what hurried through the tour so we could get on to gibson. We saw some of the first juke bokes. at the gibson guitar plant we saw how they made many different types of guitars, including a double necked one. tehy ahve to inlay the gibson name into the parts at the factory becuase if someone intercepted some aprts witht eh gibson name, they could use them to make fakes. i have pictures from today but i left the cord to transfer them in the car so they will have to wait till tomorrow. after the gibson plant we went to redez vous, according to chris, the best ribs in Memphis, which they were, in my openion. they were amazing, they had seasoning over the top and a choice of hot or mild sauces. the beans and slaw were also amazing. the resturaunt was down an alley and down some stairs. I did get a little messy though. After we ate we left memphis and passed the pyramid again.
When we arrived to Little rock we went to teh clinton presidential library. which was awesome, they had a dhort movie about his life and mock up of the oval offfice as it was when he was president. it was right on the river. the library also had a giant timeline through each year of his presidency. we only spent an hour at the library as it closed at 5 and we arrived at 4. after the library, we went and checked into our bed aqnd breakfast, which is amazing. our dinner was at a place called boscos overlooking the somewhat brown river. it started to thunderstorm so we had to move inside out of the rain. after dinner we drove around downtown for a bit before we returned home and watched Crank on my laptop, one of my favorite movies ever!
tomorrow we are leaving for our 12 hour drive to santa fe, happy fourth for us!!! yay! at least we will be seeing the largest can of spinish and cadillac ranch. that should be fun Yipee!! ok well im tired and i wil try to upload all those pictures tomorrow.

Please do me a favor and stop at a Daylight Donuts in Oklahoma tomorrow. Oklahoma is where Daylight Donuts originated.

Clearly they are the true makers of REAL donuts...hands down.
