I have finally arrived in Memphis. Today was a rather uneventful travel day in comparison to my previous days. There were not too many ‘sights to see’ and I got a really late start…the latest yet on my trip…almost 1pm! RIght now as I type this, I am sitting in the Reading Room at Pilgrim House Hostel listening to a group of around six other travelers (who I have yet to meet) take turn reading a book aloud…not sure what book it is, but it sounds a bit interesting from what I can hear.
This morning was nice and relaxed…spending time at a really cool coffe and cupcake shop, Cuppies & Joe. The staff here was really friendly and the cupcake I had was most excellent…such a great breakfast!
The hostel I am staying at tonight is a generally cozy place; very clean and well organized. I paid a measly $15 for one night. In return, I simply need to respect the space and other travelers, take care of one or two communal chores and clean up after myself. I am in a shared room with about 4 bunks. There is only one other person staying in this room presently and should stay that way for the remainder of the night. I could have opted for a private room, but that is more money and in my mind, somewhat negates some of the greater benefits of staying at a hostel and experiencing communal living. However, I am not sure how much I will experience of this as I am really tired and want to get some decent sleep tonight. We shall see if the other travelers decide to stop reading at some point.
Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures to share today. There was really nothing of note to take pictures of. Sorry. I think I should have some pictures tomorrow once I get to Asheville and also on the drive there.
Until tomorrow…
