I managed to be waiting for the tour bus at the right time this morning and the bus arrived right on time and off we went another 8 passengers for a narrated tour of down town Nashville!!
The one thing I did not know about the city was that it suffered devastating damages and loss in what they call the 1000 year flood last summer apparently when the Cumberland river overflowed it’s banks some parts of the city was under 15 feet of water….the restorations are almost complete!!!
The driver was a real life native of Nashville and I had to listed really hard to understand him but he knew all about the city!!
The State Capitol!!
This photo below is for all you ladies
This is the building where the Bill was signed that enabled you lovely ladies to vote!!!
The first stop was here
This was the first home of the Grand Ole Opry!!
The scuttle bug around town is that there is a new country sensation on his way!!!!!!
Nashville is know as the Athens of the east because of all the schools and colleges in the area so they erected the Parthenon a full scale replica!!
The biggest, by number of hits, recording studio in the world!!
We then stopped here for a private one hour tour
which was really very interesting and full of memorabilia!!!
It was a great 4 hour tour and I am glad I took it….I was dropped of at the RV park and picked up Ramona and again on Paula’s advice went here
What a huge fancy hotel!!!
Whilst walking back to where I had parked came across this motel that was now converted into a Flee Market and all the rooms were storage spaces!!
I changed my plans and decided not to go to Memphis after all he is dead right!!!!! Sorry Barb!!!
So I left town and stopped at this famous cafe and motel
and sampled their biscuits!!!
Then made my way to
Which runs over 300 miles south…so I shall follow this slow paced and beautiful Parkway for a while!!!
If you look very closely you can see the waterfall!!!
I am now in a town called Columbia and at MacD’s doing the blog then off two blocks to Wal-Mart for the night…..good wishes to you all!!
