Well,first of all,there was something of a language barrier.One of them spoke no English and the other's English was,at best,only fair.Perhaps I worded my post badly...they didn't give me the impression that seeing Graceland was their *only* reason for coming but I did get the sense that it was their main reason.This doesn't surprise me all that much because the *main* reason why I visited Africa was to see the wildlife parks but it wasn't my *only* reason.
The ONLY reason my husband, mother and I went to Kenya (when we lived in Saudi Arabia) was to see the wildlife parks.
Why else would I go there? We had to have a zillion MORE shots than the zillion we needed to live in Saudi Arabia. Oddly enough we also had to have a polio booster for life in the Kingdom.
For Kenya, I can't remember the shots but I DO remeber feeling like a pin cushion again.
One thing I did NOT expect was to be shocked by the color of the Africans. They were called black and they WERE ebony, the color of my computer.
There was an African-American middle aged couple there who MIGHT have thought they were going back to their "roots," but they looked white compared to the native Africans. I hadn't realized, as they probably didn't either, how BLACK native Africans were. No white added whatsoever, ever, no way, NOPE and not a chance. The American couple looked confused. I have to admit, I was really surprised too.
Since I didn't care for Elvis Presley and I have lost all taste for any music but classical (and some occasional salsa) I wouldn't go to Graceland for any musical reason. Is there any other reason to go there?
But that's just me and my likes.
I will admit, though, that no matter the genre of music, there is always and always an exception to the rule. I even liked an occasional hillbilly song; I can't remember which one but I know there was one.
