To begin with, I must explain that I love musicals and music in general. Earlier this summer, I found the musical Memphis, which is a fabulous tale of a dance and music television show in the 1960s and of course so much more. While watching this show, I fell in love with the city of Memphis, even though I'd never set foot on Beale Street. So, imagine my excitement when I was told that I would get to visit this amazing and unique city.
Roaming around Memphis our first night was incredible. Beale Street with music floating around, conveying the entire spectrum of emotions, a trolley ride that stranded us ten blocks from our hotel, the coolest bridge in a quaint park. The entire city mesmerized me. Everything about it just made my heart sing.
And of course, how can I forget the Brooks Museum or the Memphis Zoo! The Brooks Museum of Art was the most spectacular art museum I've attended. It's collection The Soul of a City was so powerful and fascinating, and I loved the little exhibit in which patrons could create their own artwork.
The Memphis Zoo. The entire time we were there I turned into an eight year old. Everything is interesting and marvelous to me. I love animals. I mean, some of my favorite movies are Flipperand Alaska, you know those 90s movies about children saving these endangered animals from poachers and the like. I especially love polar bears. And I got to see polar bears, so I can honestly die happy. But really the Memphis Zoo is such a good zoo. It's well kept, and it has big habitats for its animals, which is something that most zoos don't have.
All in all, I love Memphis. I will definitely be making many more trips to the River City throughout my lifetime.
