Tupelo, MS

Short day.  Did a little shopping leaving Memphis and then about two hours east to Tupelo.  Went to visitor center for Natchez Trace Parkway for info and enlightenment.  Will head down the parkway tomorrow.

Next, Elvis’ birth place.  Small park area containing museum/gift shop, several buildings, and info signage.

Tomorrow the parkway.  Speed limit, limited access, and no signs. Nice!
