Day three started with church and seeing the best youth facility I have ever seen. We headed off to lunch where we waited for "10 minutes" to eat GREAT BarBQ ( I wish I had a plate right now) with a great appetizer of sausage and cheese.We visited the Peabody Hotel where we saw ducks in the lobby and a piano used by Frances Scott Key. On the roof we saw amazing views of Memphis. We then took a trolley ride that cost $1 a person that gave us a view of downtown and the Mississippi river. On part of the ride we passed the Civil Rights Museum. It was the actual hotel where Martin Luther King Jr was shot. We passed by and saw the actual balcony. It is hard to describe the feeling seeing it in person - the balcony I saw in text books and in the papers right there in front of me. It made it all very real.
