MEMPHIS



Memphis City

             Memphis is the largest and more important city of the state of Tennessee, but the capital of the state is Nashiville, famous for the circumlocution parties. It is the cradle of the music country.

           Memphis is the reference center for being Elvis Presley's city; for having one of the best ophthalmology centers of the world and for having a the best hospital of the world than it takes care of children with cancer and leukemia without collecting anything. It is also there that is the famous hotel Peabody.

           We arrived there in the summer, very hot! The city covered with green and flowers. Tulips of every color of the flower beds bloomed  streets and avenues.

          There are not slums, nor wanderers, nor beggars in the streets. Everything very clean. The people are educated. Children are only seen in shoppings, museums, zoo, or leisure places. There children are not in the streets.

         Memphis is taken a bath by the Mississipe river, one of the most important rivers of United States, so much for the volume of water, as for the tourism, leisure, fishes and navigation. There are still the famous flotation snack bars, always full.

        We cannot forget about the planetarium and of the paleontological museum, with many fossils of prehistoric animals.

In the entrance of the museum there is a great response of a dinosaur. You place a coin of 25 cents and it moves and roars. It is impressive!
