Walking in Memphis






After two long days on the bus, we ended up in Memphis TN for a stopover on the way to Baton Rouge. We all(Sue, Mikey, John, Quentin, Colin and I) decided to take advantage of our time here and went out to explore Beale Street. Beale Street is full of restaurants, shops, music, and bars. We enjoyed walking down the street and shopping for souvenirs, but the best part was our dinner at BB King's. Colin and I enjoyed a rack of ribs that were to die for. While eating we enjoyed the wonderful entertainment of a blues band. While tapping away to the music, several memberes of the cast and crew came in and sat near us. Q danced with Jenn and Erin came over to dance with Colin. Poor Mikey got stuck with me, lol! Anyways we all had a lot of fun. The singer started asking where everyone was from and took a liking to the boys who were dancing and singing away to the music. Colin yelled down that he was from Rochester and with all the noise she thought he said Russia, haha! She called them down and the 3 boys sat with her on the stage while she sang. Colin then clarified that he was from Rochester, not Russia! When she found out that our group was the National tour of Oliver, she asked them to come down and sing. Unfortunately no one was ready to go down and sing a blues song. If they had to sing a showtune they'd be all set, lol!
Once the band took a break, we decided it was time to head back to the hotel. We had to practically drag back as he was really wanting to go to the 2nd floor of the Rum Boogie(Just kidding John, haha!)
Well here it is 1:30am and Colin and I are still awake. It's time to turn out the light and get some sleep before our 8:30am bus call! We'll be pulling in to Baton Rouge tomorrow afternoon. Rumor has it that they have snow there!! Just our luck ;)
