elvis has not left the building







When i saw that one of our tasks was to get our picture taken with Elvis i was already planning a trip to Memphis. who wouldn't want to head out to Graceland? but then i remembered we had to stay in Bartholomew county :( so i put on my thinking cap and remembered that Sadie's was the place to be. being the huge Elvis fan that i am i knew they would be able to help us with this task. its like an Elvis museum in there. when we came in and asked for a picture with the king they looked at us funny for a minute and then we explained that we were there for the amazing race. they said oh ok....wait...what is the amazing race? so we talked to them for a few minutes to explain what the race was. we are pro's at explaining this at this point. we have had to explain this to probably half of the people we have seen out on our tasks. once we explain what we are doing people get really excited and they want to know more about it. we always offer the website so the community can keep tabs on us. so even though we didn't make it to Graceland we were more than pleased to find Elvis right here in Columbus!
