A trip to Nashville

Steve had a meeting in Nashville this week so I tagged along. I was pleasantly surprised by Nashville. I started out Thursday morning on a walking tour I found online. Not being a huge country music fan I thought twice about visiting the Country Music Museum and Hall of Fame, but I paid the admission price and got the audio tour. It was delightful! Really much more of a history of country music and evolution of the genre than anything. I loved it and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Nashville. My next stop was the Ryman Theater which was the original home of the Grand Ole Opry. This too was a wonderful historical building with a self guided tour. Some of the other venues on this walking tour were Fort Nashbourgh, Tennessee Titans Stadium, the Tennessee War Memorial and Museum and the State Capital. I skipped over most of the Honky Tonks as the afternoon is probably not the best time to catch the latest new artists playing but that would be a great addition to a longer stay. We were staying at the Hermitage Hotel which is a historic building itself, built in 1910. Nashville is definitely a city I would recommend a visit to.
