Starting out....

We met at Belmont this morning at 4 a.m., got a chance to sleep for a few hours on our surprisingly luxurious tour bus and are now in Memphis, TN, about to head out on our very first American adventure. We're visiting the duck march at the Peabody Hotel, seeing the Stax Records Museum, exploring Beale Street, seeing Graceland, exploring the different types of neighborhoods in Memphis (by van, not be foot) and ending our day with a traditional Indian dinner at the house of one of our group members whose family lives in Memphis, Rashina. I'm excited to visit Memphis because I've lived in Tennessee my whole life and have never been here. I'll update the blog once we return to the bus at night to let you know how our day goes!
