My next destination is Memphis, TN. My Aunt Lisa, Uncle Kevin and cousin Kelsey live there. Elvis used to live there too! There is a distinct "Elvis Theme" throughout this trip. Unfortunately I will not be stopping in Las Vegas to see a "fat" Elvis impersonator.
The first thing that I saw was the fake Statue of Liberty. Here it is:

| Fake Statue of Liberty in Memphis, TN |
The fake Statue of Liberty is located in the Memphis ghetto and it was a lot less tall than the real Statue of Liberty. Instead of being across from a Harbor, it was across from a Piggly Wiggly. Instead of having an inspirational message about Liberty on it (like the real Statue)... at the base of the fake Statue it says: "America Return to Christ." Return what to Christ? Maybe America has a few books over due from his library? Or maybe the couch that many people find Jesus under needs returning? I just don't know, but I did not want to stick around to find out! I would like to see a battle break out between the fake Statue of Liberty and the Gigantic Paul Bunyan.
Off to KL&K's house (that would be Kevin/Lisa/Kelsey). I heard rumors that they have a swimming pool and that the weather will be nice this weekend. I am planning on resting over the weekend before I begin eating tons of miles in my push out West!
