Elvis Concert

I went back East because its fall and the leaves there are supposed to be excellent at this time of year. They were. But there were other things to see as well. I thought I would spend the next few posts showing the highlights of the trip. 

Here's the first one. Kind of sad, really. I dropped into the Maine history museum in Portland, Maine. Nothing spectacular, but it was fine. One interesting thing was that apparently someone had donated a couple of tickets to see Elvis back in the day. It was for an August 18th show. They were unused. That is because Elvis had passed away August 16th. Quite sad - for the owners and for Elvis. At least the owner got to have his tickets end up in a museum but small consolation. Also interesting is the cost - $15 each. I know that was a long time ago, but that still seems like a pretty good bargain. 

I don't remember anything else in the museum, but also interesting was that it was next to the house in which Longfellow grew up. If you are ever in Portland, it would be something good to check out.
