Hello! I owe everyone an entry on Memphis. That was yesterday but I was way too tired to write a good entry last night — and believe me, you want me to take my time when I write about Memphis. It’s been my most interesting stop yet.

For the one night and several hours during the day I spent in Memphis, I already have so many interesting stories to share. Did you know Memphis is actually the 4th most dangerous city in our country? I believe Compton, CA ranked 17th, and that is known as the capital of the ghetto. (I don’t know if it’s really called that but I just thought of that name now)

So last night I ended up driving very safely on the right lane at about 50 mph for two hours (via Atlanta, Georgia). It felt awesome not to be so focused on passing every car on the road (I love to be ahead), but just to cruise and enjoy music the whole time behind a truck. I drove from Memphis, Tennessee; through Mississippi, through Alabama, and into Georgia. :)

I am currently staying at the Palomar Hotel in Midtown Atlanta. WHAT a GREAT hotel. If you ever come here, stay here.

Here’s my latest video with a special on the hotel’s leopard robes:

Atlanta has funny robes!

My good friend also thought of me and drew me on my road trip. The subject line of the email was: “I was inspired and had to draw this.” I thought, awww he was probably inspired by my VERY inspiring Sedona entry!

Then I opened it and saw this:

Fast Food is a Killer

The image was entitled: “Fast Food is a Killer”

Oh what I’d do without the support of my friends…. :)

And FYI, Burger King was my latest food stop. Their fries beat McDonald’s, Wendy’s and KFC’s potatoes any day. I actually ate all the fries and didn’t even touch my sandwich! This photo is actually very appropriate for how I feel these days.
