We got up and borrowed the courtesy car. Our plan was established. We would take Phil’s car about 100 miles down river to the marina in Columbus MS. That way it would be waiting for us when we arrived later in the week. After dropping the car off at the Columbus Marina, we headed north to Tupelo, MS. Tupelo is famous because it is the birth place of Elvis Presley. So naturally we had to visit. The home that Elvis was born in is very small and modest and reminded me of a manufactured home. Elvis’ father actually built the place with his own hands. Fans donated money and a Chapel was also built on the land next to the Elvis house. I boldly walked into the Chapel and took several photos. This is the only Chapel that I have ever visited that played nothing but Elvis music. Phil said that it cost $12 to enter the Chapel. Whoops, I forgot to pay. Hope my oversight does not beak Priscilla as she has done a marvelous job of preserving the Elvis legacy and made a fortune in the process. Guitar pick that usually sell for $.25 were on sale for $1.00.
After touring the Elvis digs we headed into town for Pizza.
