Nashville, Tennessee

Hello BlogFriends!

I have done some sorting through my Nashville photos

and I am back to share with you a portion of the walking around photos.

Our main objective in Nashville was to see Bright Eyes. Other than that,

we just cruised around downtown and scoped out what she had to offer.

I did make a new friend in Nashville.

Meet Mister Indian.

My general observations of downtown...

*

There are banks and churches on every block.

Ohhh...Money & Religion!

(Kind of like Auburn, AL, where there is either a

gas station, bank, or church every where you turn. Literally.)

This was not the cleanest city.

Definitely not the dirtiest, I am sure,

but not the cleanest or sweetest smelling.

I am not sure if we were there on garbage day or what,

but the streets were lined with stinky garbage cans

and we would catch a whiff of garbage juice or rotten bear quite often.

I blame this on the abundance of tourist attraction bars.

They had a few nice parks and outdoorsy places.

We went to the Bicentennial Mall and Centennial Park.

I wonder if they'll have a Tricentennial Park!? Ha.

These parks were two of my favorite spots from in Nashville.

Centennial Park had great landscape, pretty flowers everywhere.

This is where I found the tulips from the March post.

The main attraction was a Parthenon replication.

It was kinda crazy, but nothing like standing in front of the real thing.

Yes, I have been to Greece! Woot!

Bicentennial Mall has a great outdoor amphitheatre,

a farmer's market, a giant globe floating in water, and much more.

Link for more info.

Basically we just cruised around.

I did make myself proud.

I walked across the pedestrian bridge

and went up to the top of the lookout tower.

I am scared of bridges & heights.

I did not get close to the edge in either instance. Ha.

All in all it was a good trip.

I came home with some

great souvenirs, photos, & memories.

Look out for a follow up blog on Nashville.

I have a little more to share.
