We left home a week ago to start our Fall trip. Our first stop was a week in Nashville. It's been three years since we were here last, but not much has changed. Our friends Steve and Carol, and Pam and Windsor are here also. Mostly what we have done is eat!
There is now a shuttle that we can catch at the entrance to the RV park that takes us right into downtown Nashville, so we no longer have to fight the traffic to find a parking spot. We leave the driving to someone else.
The first day we were here we took a "Tour of Nashville." The first part of the tour was pretty good. The last two hours were not anything we were interested in. Our tour guide, Tommy, drove us by "houses of famous musicians." He would pull off the side of the road, say, "now look at those two towers in the distance {at least a mile away}, look to the left of the tower on the left, through the trees, you can see a small patch of brown paint - that house belongs to Tim McGraw and Faith Hill." On, and on it went. At one house he stopped to tell us if we looked hard enough at the window on the second floor on the left hand side, we could see the headboard of some band leader's bedroom. That's just disgusting!
The Musica features nine dancing figures.

Check out the tie on this guy from The Riders In The Sky - it's a gigantic cactus.
Steve, Mark, Butch, and Windsor hanging out.
Last night the park hosted a beer and pizza party with a band, and special guests. The band was pretty good, and the special guest was Jeannie Seely, who we had seen at the Opry Friday night. For a 74 year old singer, she sounds and looks pretty good.
Some guy brought his dog in a baby stroller.
Tomorrow we are heading to Gatlinburg. More to follow next week.
