In fact he was quite small compared to what seems to be the average size in Memphis.
Have I mentioned the fat people? Some of these folk are not just fat..... these people are huuuuuge. It's the female of the species mainly. The Australian idea seems to be for young girls to get as thin as possible. There is obviously a competition down south ..... major prizes to be won if you can get to 120 kilos before you're 21. We've never seen anything like it but when you see the restaurants in Memphis you begin to understand. The fast food industry has a lot to answer for.
Here's the winner of Miss Memphis Slim 2011.
Had a great day chasing Elvis. Not as tacky as we expected and it was worth the extra 2 dollars to go as VIPs.
Tomorrow Toronto where on Wednesday we'll meet a Scottish friend of mine whom I've never met in person. It's 7 degrees celcius and the silly bugger is talking about a barbecue. He says he's rubbish at BBQs and wants me to look after it. Heh heh heh heh heh heh.

Oh I'm glad mum got to visit Elvis - i'm sure her being excited would have made it all worth while!
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be visiting all the sites and moving around the States very quickly - does it feel like you need more time in each place or has it been good to move on? I hope you are finding time to relax!
Keep the photos coming they are great to look at and looks like you are both really enjoying yourselves!
We really need more time Ali. It's all been a bit too quick. Unfortunatey Mum wanted to meet her cousin on the 6th and we now find we're going to be in Canada for 2 weeks.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm not sure what time it is there - but HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! It's the 7th here so we will celebrate for you - hopefully mum will take you out somewhere nice. Brendon is off to see the Lions AFL tonight and I will do the mothers day fun run at southbank in the morning - which also brings me to say to Mum HAPPY MOTHERS DAY for tommorrow!!! I will text aswell as I think you pay for the call if we ring you which wouldn't be right! Hope you are still having a ball xox
