Memphis - a city filled with history

As with  many of the stops along America By Rail, this is my first time in Memphis.  To get acquainted with the city, I walked along the Mississippi River, visited the shops on  Beale Street, took a ride on the Main St. trolley, ate delicious BBQ ribs (more on that tomorrow), and explored The Orpheum Theatre.

Its been a very long day -- I've been going since I got off the train at 6am so I'm going to call it a night, and leave you with some photographs of the incredible Orpheum and fill in all the details about my time in Memphis tomorrow!









Thanks for following along on America By Rail!  Tomorrow -- more Memphis, and then on to New Orleans!!!

Davenport, Iowa

We just returned home from a short trip to Davenport, Iowa.  Here are a few shots of a pedestrian bridge with great LED lighting overlooking the Mississippi River and The Rhythm City Casino (who wouldn't let us in because we had a tripod)...  



  

Check back soon for more photos of Iowa adventures... including a surprising forest visit from wild horses...
