Day 44 Graceland

With our VIP pass we got to see the back yard as well of Elvis's place these two horses are direct decendents of Elvis's very own horses Elvis liked the palamino the best. You can see old equipment in the yard just laying around rusting (looks like any other back yard right). The two mobile homes and the blue cottage were for Elvis's guests Elvis loved to have people around and wanted them to stay for awhile so he put them up with accomadations so they would stay. You can see there are other homes right around his place it is not way out and away from people as you might think it is right on a busy street with lots of neighbours.

The little church you see over the fence is one that Lisa Marie had built so people could get married there and have there pictures taken at Graceland. There was another church there at one time and Elvis had asked if he could go through the fence when he wanted to escape and no one would notice him so he was allowed to sneak through the back way and head off to places he wanted to go to get away from the crowds.

And there I am on what is the most exciting time for me standing on the front steps of Elvis's home, thankyou so much Jim and Carol for taking us on this trip and showing us yet another wonderful day at the home of the King Elvis Lives
