Days 304 - 309 (Tue 5/21/13 - Sun 5/26/13)- Nashville, TN

 
 Our week in the home of country music entailed many great experiences, but mostly it was just nice to take some time off from the road.

During the week we walked around Broadway (where most of the honky tonks are), drove Music row (where most of the recording studios and publishing houses are), visited the Tennessee State Museum, saw several beautiful historic buildings (though sadly the Ryman aka the original Grand Ole Opry wasn't pretty enough for a picture), visited the Belmont University campus, drove many times around town (though mostly because we got lost...bad timing for our GPS to crap out) and attended a festival where we were treated to some good local country music.

This week of downtime included some much needed R&R, a shower, time to do laundry and to research the next leg of the trip. We loved everything about Nashville especially the friendly people, the beauty all around us and getting to watch hours of Comedy Central thanks to a free Wifi connection at the Walmart where we stayed.
