Today we saw the Lorraine motel where Martin L. King was assassinated. It was a very emotional and quite chilling to see where one of the head leaders of the civil rights movement was brutally murdered. We then went to the rock n' soul museum where we learned about the integration of music and the birthplace of soul and rock n' roll. We then walked about two blocks to eat at Ms.Polly's where we stuffed our faces full of fried delicacies. After lunch, we were able to go tour Sun Studios. This is where many well known artists recorded and cut records. Elvis Presley first recorded here when he was only 18, but he recorded as an amateur. One year later he came to cut a record as a professional, and he signed a contract with Sun Records Company. Then as a treat we were able to go to the Peabody Hotel and watch ducks march from a circular fountain down a red carpet and into an elevator specifically marked off for them. After the regal duck visit we went on a fairly short bus ride to Corky's for some delicious BBQ, and shortly after, chaotic laser tag. The laser tag games were intense. We tried to play girls against boys, but that did not work. Some of the guys kept on shooting some of the other guys. After the laser tag game, we came back to the hotel to get ready for our trip back to Dallas!!
