    Your Rhythms of the Road tour with Cosmos departs from Chicago.

    DAY 1: CHICAGO Welcome to the "Windy City." Your Tour Director is on hand late this afternoon to answer any questions. DAY 2: CHICAGO Included sightseeing shows off the city's landmarks, then an afternoon at leisure. Maybe ride the elevator to the top of Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower) or stroll along Michigan Avenue, better known as the Magnificent Mile. In the evening, perhaps enjoy one of Chicago's legendary blues clubs. DAY 3: CHICAGO-ST. LOUIS Travel across the fertile Illinois farmlands to St. Louis, "Gateway to the West." An orientation tour includes a trip to the top of the Gateway Arch National Park, which commemorates the city's key role in westward expansion. Visit the museum under the Arch, celebrating Lewis & Clark's famous expedition 200 years ago. DAY 4: ST. LOUIS-PADUCAH-NASHVILLE Recross the Mississippi River today and roll southeast to Paducah, Kentucky on the Ohio River. Late-afternoon arrival in Nashville. (B) DAY 5: NASHVILLE Start the day with a sightseeing tour of Nashville's famous landmarks and the Music Row recording studios. Tour historic RCA Studio B, cradle of the 1960s "Nashville Sound" where stars such as Dolly Parton, Elvis Presley, Eddy Arnold, Willie Nelson, and the Everly Brothers recorded many of their biggest hits. Afterward, visit the Country Music Hall of Fame with its glittering costumes, rare instruments, and Elvis' "solid-gold" Cadillac! Tonight, enjoy reserved seating for a show at the world-famous Grand Ole Opry, a mecca for country musicians. DAY 6: NASHVILLE-BROWNSVILLE-MEMPHIS Visit the Tina Turner Museum in the one-room schoolhouse attended by a young Anna Mae Bullock (a.k.a. Tina Turner). See the collection of the "Queen of Rock's" memorabilia, including costumes, gold records and even her high school yearbook! Afterward, cross Tennessee to Memphis, "Home of the Blues" and a city with a distinct Southern flavor. Enjoy an orientation tour on arrival and see where scenes from the film Walk the Line were filmed. Consider the optional excursion to Sun Studio, where rock ?n' roll was first recorded, followed by dinner at a local restaurant. DAY 7: MEMPHIS-VISIT TO GRACELAND A good portion of the day is devoted to Graceland, Elvis Presley's beautiful estate. Your guided audio tour focuses on the memorial garden, and the opulent 15,000-square-foot mansion. Also see Elvis' custom jets and his Favourite automobiles! Return to Memphis mid-afternoon and, if you haven't done so already, get a taste of Memphis with some southern barbecue or visit the Rock 'n' Soul Museum near historic Beale Street. DAY 8: MEMPHIS-INDIANOLA-NEW ORLEANS Today, make your way through the state of Mississippi. Visit the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive centre. Discover the life of B.B. (Blues Boy) King, from his humble beginnings to his big break on Beale Street in Memphis. An evening arrival in New Orleans allows the opportunity for exploring this lively city on your own. DAY 9: NEW ORLEANS A full morning is dedicated to the sights and sounds of New Orleans, featuring a guided tour that includes the French Quarter landmarks, St. Louis Cathedral, Jackson Square, and a visit to a unique above-ground cemetery. This afternoon, join an optional tour of one of the many plantation homes in southern Louisiana. The architecture and beauty of these homes alone is impressive and the stories that go with them are even better. This evening, perhaps join an optional Mississippi River dinner cruise, and enjoy a delightful buffet dinner complete with live jazz-the perfect finale to a memorable touring adventure of the South.
