Welcome to Memphis, the home of soul music, blues and rock and roll. I personally have never been one to really listen to that kind of music but in a city like this the rhythm is addictive and you can't help but get caught up in these classic tunes. My class started our tour on Beale street, walking past all the music clubs and restaurants. Everybody we passed was so friendly, laughing and talking to us like we were old friends rather than strangers.
The food we ended up eating was unbelievable! I don't feel like I have been talking about food as much as I thought I would but holy cow! You can't order a bad meal in the South. I have decided that is a fact. Everything is so flavorful and rich it makes your mouth sing. Just as a word of caution though, anyone who is particularly health conscious or watching their weight will have a really hard time! Considering that everything is either buttered or fired or sometimes both! Lucky for me, I am not too concerned so I am enjoying every mouthful of this deliciousness!
. Something interesting that is relating to the research project my group is doing (the one about Dialects) Sub sandwiches here are called Po Boys. It's a shortened term from the original Poor Boy Sandwiches. I kind of like that name better. Also they taste so much better than the Jimmy Johns and Subways we have up north. Just saying.
