Day 41 Thursday, 5,822 mile trip

Some may wonder why I do this? I sometimes do also. It helps me remember the neat things we see during our travels. As I do the blog writing, Shirleen does the research on the next days activities. Hope you enjoy our efforts and to those who do not follow it, you know not what you miss. jerr

We are HOME!!!! Thursday 7:17 pm.

A couple of things I have forgotten. When in Memphis we finished our eating at Alfred’s on Beale Street. Shirleen and I split a Pig Heaven combo. It was a half split of ribs and a pulled pork shoulder pile with beans. If I were to eat only one place in Memphis it would be here. Duke our waiter liked to talk, he was an old Coast Guard sailor, and an Eagle Scout. Sounded like he was a musician but that is only because he went to South by Southwest in Austin. Just like Jan and Jim’s son Mike.

We also ate in Iowa City at the Iowa River Power Restaurant. We have eaten there often and like the food. Shirleen’s Filet sandwich and my pork tenderloin sandwich. The hard thing was to remember where this restaurant was, we drove all over Iowa City and on the way out of town remembered where it was.

We would have been home about the same time if not for the coach acting up. We have enjoyed reading about your trip and your activities. Thanks for sharing with us!
