If you haven’t been to Memphis, you owe yourself a visit. This would be the year and a must see is the Stax Musuem of Soul Music. A little of the beaten track but WOW.

Thanks for the suggestion, Sara. I’ve never been to Memphis, but it looks like a lot of fun.
Perhaps this summer we’ll take a long drive
