The Taylor guys go to Memphis!

[urbpan]

The zookeeper conference this year was in Memphis, meaning a new city for us to explore!



This was one of only cultural things I really wanted to see: Sun Studios, where Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis and other greats recorded their first records.


It was closed, which meant we couldn't poke around the gift shop, but it made for a nice sunset.


Then we ended up at this place, part of the beautiful development along the Mississipi River.


It looks pretty big along this stretch.


The cylindrical building is a footbridge. The car bridge to Arkansas is in the background.


Audubon stood here and thought about birds.


And downriver just a bit, one of the largest pyramids in the world (somewhere between the 5th largest and 10th largest depending who you ask). More about that in the next post!
