Two years ago, I took a class about the Civil Rights movement in the United States, and our professo




A few weeks ago, my parents and I spontaneously decided montreal discount hotel to go on a little road trip! We've been doing college tours in little bunches, and since there were two schools about two hours from each other in Tennessee and Arkansas, we decided to go check them out! My brother was also at camp then, so we also went because it he wouldn't really want to come on the campus tours and whatnot. Over four days, we went visited those two schools and though we were checking out a school in Memphis, we spent the night in Mississippi. So even though we didn't spend much time in Mississippi, I was in three states I'd never been in before, atlantic city bus tours brooklyn which was pretty awesome! I don't want to spam you guys with lots of pictures, but I did take some outfit pictures while we were there, as well as some others, montreal discount hotel so I thought I'd break them into two posts.
This was the perfect montreal discount hotel atlantic city bus tours brooklyn outfit for walking around a college campus in 100 degree weather, touring atlantic city bus tours brooklyn montreal discount hotel a museum, and exploring Beale Street. We finally stopped at the Mississippi atlantic city bus tours brooklyn River, where we took these outfit pictures. atlantic city bus tours brooklyn To see the rest of my pictures from Tennessee's National Civil Rights Museum, the Mississippi River, and Beale Street, click below.
Two years ago, I took a class about the Civil Rights movement in the United States, and our professor would always tell us about the tour he goes on to stop by all these places in the South where important events happened. I always wished I could go on that tour, so when I remembered atlantic city bus tours brooklyn the Loraine Motel is in Memphis, we just had to go. The motel has been turned into a museum while still maintaining the famous balcony, which is absolutely incredible. It's difficult atlantic montreal discount hotel city bus tours brooklyn to describe what it feels like to stand there, looking up at that wreath and then walking through the museum. On the one hand, it's incredibly montreal discount hotel sad to know that you're looking at where Dr. King died. But it's also incredible to remember that he was just a person and actually stood where you are standing. And then thinking about everything he accomplished and how much things have changed since the Sixties is absolutely mind blowing. The whole experience montreal discount hotel is pretty overwhelming. If you're in Memphis or the nearby atlantic city bus tours brooklyn area, I'd highly recommend going.
Everyone we talked to said we had to stop by Beale Street, montreal discount hotel so we did to see what the fuss was about. It's a pretty amazing stretch and we loved looking at all the amazing signs and art while listening to snippets of live music. There's not much to do if you're not wanting to eat or pay to listen to a concert, so we didn't spend too much time there. It's a quintessential tourist stop, but it's a pretty cool one!
On our way back to our hotel, we decided to stop by the Mississippi River to get some pictures. Even though I've lived in the US and the South my whole life, I've never seen the Mississippi in person, and so it was surreal to see the place I've read about in Tom Sawyer and countless montreal discount hotel history books. Luckily, we got there while the sun was setting, so we got to snap some pictures in that amazing golden montreal discount hotel light, and there were even two steamboats, montreal discount hotel which, even though I knew they were just for tourists, made the experience more real, oddly enough.
