We spent the morning at the rather fine Rock and Blues Museum in Clarksdale before jumping back on Highway 61 north to Memphis, Tennessee. As we left Clarksdale we passed through the famous crossroads where Highway 61 intersects Highway 49 and where, or so the story goes, Robert Johnson sold his soul to the Devil: Devil's Crossroads
A couple of hours later we were back alongside the Mississippi itself at the Sheraton Memphis Downtown just a few blocks away, and a short tram car ride, from the famous Beale Street where we spent the evening at the Pig munching our way through a huge platter of B-B-Q ribs/chicken and pork before moving on to a bar with live blues music.
