Nashville, TN

We took a tour of Nashville which is a beautiful city with lots of wonderful buildings. I think we will come back in the Spring or Fall. There are lots of businesses, universities, and, of course, lot of music production companies.


Our tour driver made quite a joke of this sculpture. He said it was supposed to be something dancing or something about ballet but to him, it looked like a broken roller coaster.
We got to go to the Ryman Auditorium which started its life as a church. When the Grand Ole Opry had performances there, people actually brought in their chicken dinners, ate and watched the entertainment.


A couple of views of the State Capital Building, pretty impressive!

This lovely building is a copy of the Parthenon (sp?) because Nashville has the name of the Athens of the South. It definitely has lovely old and new buildings and lots of parks and trees.
Our tour ended at a "beer joint" named Legends. A young man, Craig Curtis, sang for us. He is one of the thousands of people who come to Nashville to make it "BIG". We wish him luck.


This is a picture as we were driving to Sevierville, TN, near Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. It is hot, hot, hot. More later from your very hot but very Happy Travelers.
