Photo essay: trip to Memphis

This is my first road trip with all of the exchange students. Thanks to our driver, Henrik, who made this trip possible. After 8 hours driving, we finally made it to this Mecca for every musician and every person who loves music–Memphis.

It is famous for the influential strains of blues, soul and rock ‘n’ roll that originated there. Elvis Presley, B.B.King, Johnny Cash, all world-famous musicians, you name it! They all started their music path in Memphis. Music is the energy of this old city.
