How To Steal A Million
Beale Street in Memphis was a good time every night, but on our final night there, kind of got tired of the atmosphere. That is when we discovered Mollie Fontaine Lounge located in a three storey Victorian house on Millionaires' Row.
This lounge felt reminiscent of the 1966 film How To Steal A Million, starring Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole.
It was a cool and relaxing atmosphere, but we were so tired and just lounged around most of the time. Of course I still made an effort to take as many photos as possible :)

King of Rock n Roll
Tourist Thursday! Graceland was so enjoyable, it's definitely in the top 5 museums/monuments I've ever been to.

| Details of the game room curtains. I'd love to see pants or a dress with this pattern! |
| The Jungle Room - I was highly amused by the green shag carpet...that covered the ceiling. |
An interesting fact I learned about Graceland... Elvis purchased this property in 1957 for a whopping $100 000. What a change from this modern age!

| Music room. Just look at that stereo system :D |

Red Cup in OKC
Today is my final day in Oklahoma City. It is also the birthday of my dear friend, Alex. So as per tradition, we took a ride out to an out-of-the-way cafe, The Red Cup, which turned out to be quite far from the hotel. But the adventure was worth it!
| The Red Cup has a great vegetarian/vegan menu |
| Classen Blvd Smoothie: Pineapple, strawberry, mango, apple juice |
There were many murals in the surrounding area and we had fun exploring whilst waiting for the taxi, which is always a questionable experience in a foreign city. We made it back just in time.
Our driver informed us that instead of going so far, we could've visited the arts district that's only 5 blocks from our hotel. Too bad we only discovered this on our last day!

Happy Birthday, Alex!
