Sunday 16th July 2017 – Tupelo Honey MS

This morning we went to the birthplace of Elvis in Tupelo Mississippi.  The town has done a good job in creating a space for the reflection on the life of Elvis Presley as a boy growing up in Tupelo till the age of 13 when he moved to Memphis Tennessee.
We arrived on Sunday and it was closed but we could still wander around the complex.






                                                       This is the church he attended as a child



                             The church house outhouse, just looks like an Aussie dunny hey?




                                                 This is the little house that he was born in



Elvis at 13 by then he had owned a guitar for 2 years.  His mama was going to buy him a gun but he wanted a guitar instead, lucky for us



This is the same model car that his family moved to Memphis with, a 1937 Plymouth



This statue is in the remembrance garden depicting Elvis the boy and Elvis the entertainer.
