Nous sommes arrivee en Paris. Dieu merci.
'It's down at the end of a lonely street named Heartbreak Hotel'
Our temporary address is: 75 Jailhouse Lane Graceland r v park, Behind the Heartbreak Hotel, Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennesse. Please send all correspondence there. Does it get any better? We were woken at Loretta's by the sound of trees being hammered all around us. We thought that some lumberjacks had started working and hadn't noticed we were there. It turned out to be several woodpeckers tapping the hell out of the trees above us. We went to see Loretta; her plantation house is gorgeous but some of the ornamentation is a little unnecessary, I feel. There is a massive museum on the ranch devoted to all things Loretta. It is like a giant version of the, sadly now defunct, Liberace museum that used to be in Los Vegas. She has obviously never had a good clear out and a trip to the dump. Every item of clothing ever worn, not just by her but by her family too is there, along with 50 million other items she has owned or been given. One of my favourite exhibits...
Congratulations - the trip of a lifetime! (unless you intend doing it all over again of course.....)
ReplyDeleteA fantastic achievement, so happy for you! If you can let us know your ETA at home we'll be there.

There is hardly a word in the English language, let alone the French, to describe your, and the car's, magnificent achievement. In the footsteps. or tyre tracks, of great explorers!
