East Nashville

Nashville, you did not disappoint us. But not even mainly due to the music or the the nightlife like most would expect (we made it to the typical tourist area exactly one time for a total of 4 hours 😅). We were smitten with the neighborhood that a long time friend, Alex, and her partner Joel and their incredibly adorable pup Floyd have lived in for some years.

Alex gave us only top notch tips, bringing me to her yoga studio our first morning there, which honestly locked me in for the week. I bought an unlimited starter pack and went every day and got my strength back that I felt was dwindling since fighting sickness. That studio (Hola Yoga) was my highlight of this week.

Saturday night I needed some time to explore on my own, so Mumpi went and played pool while I sang karaoke at a queer friendly bar where I felt instantly welcome and at ease.

All of the days slipped by so quickly, filled with getting together with Alex at her local tavern, working remotely at a couple cute places/cafes, listening to some music in the pub, delicacies from a few local food joints, lots of exercise, and many hours of rain that allowed me to turn inward and ignore the city streets for some hours in the comfort of our little home ❤️

We barely took pictures, which is a good sign I suppose. We were just in the moment.Læs mere
