Day 14

... in Nashville

The main doors of the Bridgestone Arena were unlocked so we walked in. Our self-guided tour was cut short when we encountered an official-looking person. She directed us to an entryway to the arena so that we could see it and then kindly asked us to leave afterwards.

The music scene in Nashville is amazing, even though I am not a huge country fan. We sat at one bar for over an hour, enjoying the two female and one male singers. A younger woman sitting beside Linda asked the inevitable question: "Are you two twins?". After some conversation we learned she was a photographer and we were asked if she could take our photo. She wanted to share it with her own sister.

We also enjoyed the Grande Ole Opry. Rhonda Vincent, Michael Ray, Ashley Monroe and Chris Young were the big crowd pleasers, although we weren't familiar with any of them. Afterwards we went to the Wildhorse Saloon, a popular 3 storey, 66000 sq ft, live music dance hall. Linda was on the dance floor with about 75 other line dancers!

Always a fun time in Nashville!Read more
