Our day in Memphis started with a stroll to the Peabody Hotel in the center of the city. We had to be in the main lobby of the Peabody for 11:00 am so we could watch the Ducks come out of the elevator and walk to the fountain in the center of the lobby.
Yes, you read this correctly, there are ducks (4 female, 1 lucky male) that come down the elevator from the penthouse every day at 11:00 am, walk on a red carpet to the fountain in the main lobby, and jump in. They spend the day swimming in the fountain and having their dinner, then at 5:00 pm they jump out and return to the elevator for a ride back to their room.

Do you know what happened here?
Hint!

Nothing has changed since the shooting.
Went over to Mud Island where there was a scale model of the Mississippi River from start to finish. This covers a half mile walk and is all casted in concrete sections. Click on the Mississippi River link above for further info.
A short explanation of the Mississippi Riverwalk.
R/B Riverbarge was docked at Mud Island, these are two barges hooked together creating a floating hotel.
Just Joyce with some handsome guy by the Muddy Mississippi, surprisingly there were no boats or ships traveling the river while we were there.
