Nashville
We had a great time in Nashville. We rented a car and went to see what it was
like. Well, it’s all about country
music! Downtown Nashville is one
honkytonk bar/club next door to another.
All of them have country music singers that entertain constantly from 10
am on. We were there on a Tues.
afternoon. On a weekend night it would be probably be so crowded it would be tough
to even get in. Interspersed with the bars were stores selling cowboy boots. There are more stores selling cowboy boots
than there are fudge shops on Mackinac Island! Country music is blaring out of
loud speakers on the streets and in the parking garages.
Grand Old Opry
WE were fortunate in that we had friends who had just
visited and told us what to do and see. We visited the Country Music Hall of
Fame. It was really impressive, and well
worth seeing even if you aren’t really into country music. The 2 singers they were featuring were Carrie
Underwood and Reba Macintyre.
Nashville has a cool bike system where you can put some money in a meter and take a bike to ride. It can be returned to lots of different locations.

The Opry Resort and hotel looked like
a Vegas Casino- about a block long and really beautiful. We ate there and took their shuttle to Grand
Old Opry.
We went to a show at the Grand Old
Opry. That was really something. The Grand Old Opry is produced as a radio show
live during the performance. They’ve
been doing it now for 88 years. The show consists of 8 different performers
that get 15 min each. Vince Gill was the
big performer of the night.
Bill was a great driver and after
this entire long… day drove
home the 2 hours late at night back to the marina.
