Addendum to Nashville

Hope I won't have as many mistakes in this message as I did the last two!!!  Just wanted to mention that on the morning we left Nashville we decided to drive down town and see the original Grand Old Oprey, which is the Ryman building.  Also, the street where so many entertainers had played and maybe became famous, is there also.  So off we go with the GPS giving us the directions.  Well, believe it or not, but the Titans, the football team of Nashville was having a home game and the streets were a mess.  Their stadium is very close to the down town area and all of the parking garages were closed and the parking meters were covered so you could not use them.  Many of the corner lots were set up for parking but it cost a whopping $20 and the Titan fans were happy to pay.  All we wanted was about 60 minutes at the most, so after driving around the block a few times we decided that Ron and Bernice would hop out of the car and take some pictures and I would drive around the block until they were finished.  So, amongst the Titan fans and a few Raider fans, Ron and Bernice jumped out of the car and took off for a picture taking adventure.  I drove around and around, wishing a parking place would come available, but no such luck.  After a few spins Ron and Bernice got back in the car and we left town, heading to Atlanta.  Probably not the best way to see Nashville, but at least it wasn't a total loss.
