Day 4
Spent the day sight-seeing in Nashville so we only traveled 45 miles and I left Abigail sitting in the parking lot so I could co-pilot with Don. Went to a couple of museums and then over to the Opryland Hotel just to walk through their gardens but after circling the place a half dozen times we could not find any parking that wasn’t going to cost us $20 so I figured I didn’t need to see their gardens that bad. We headed to the Grand Ole Opry to check out the action there and then Opry Mills before heading downtown to find the American Pickers’ store and the Bicentennial Park which is just beautiful. A walk into the Farmers Market and then we were ready to head back to the motel. This time I decided to take any road other than route 40 which is a jungle of speeding cars, merge lanes, splits and exits. I like twisting and turning on mountain roads but not on a tangle of super highways. Much prefer riding through the city and seeing the new high-rise buildings sitting next to the old stately ones and the people sitting on their steps watching the cars passing.
