Sunday In Memphis - Part 1

Last Sunday, Ben and I spent the day exploring downtown. This is Memphis, TN, the Mississippi River and the Hernando de Soto Bridge. (I got this picture off the internet). Now, let's catch the monorail over to Mud Island. The monorail was featured in the Tom Cruise movie, THE FIRM. This picture shows him running across it. Running from the bad guys. Mud Island features a 5 block long replica of the lower Mississippi River. You can wade through it. Take your shoes off and click here. http://mudisland.com/riverwalk.asp
There is also a museum, and lots of other things to do. Click here. http://mudisland.com/ The Memphis Belle used to sit under the white pavilion on the bottom right, of the picture below. But The City let her get away. If you're ever in Memphis, check out Mud Island.
