ONTO NASHVILLE ....

Finished up Friday night with dinner at the Froggy Bottom Pub.....crab cakes.......and I ended up with trouble with the bottom.....RIBET!!! Not so good!!! Early morning start 4.30 am to get our flight to Nashville!!!

Buck visited the Smithsomian Air and Space Museum.....

Lunar space module....

Airbus A329 simulator ,watch from behind as you hear the pilot talking to Ronald Reagan air traffic control and it takes off and lands!!

746 Jet Engine

This is the F16 Fighter Jet simulator that Buck got strapped into for $8 and had the ride of his life.....he said it was a fantastic experience....all the museums are free entry!

Unmanned spy plane....

Drone with missiles....

Amelia Earhart exhibit...well known American Aviation pilot!!! Go girl !!

Our third flight on South West Airlines today to Nashville and we had a female pilot and her landing was the best so far....

Broadway.....downtown Nashville...we arrived at Hotel at early hour so our room wasn't ready so we caught the shuttle bus and arrived in town 8.30 am Saturday morning .....not much happening!

Cumberland River ......running through Nashville....

Broadway.....a lot prettier with all the neon lights at night!!!

Biggest Masonic lodge I've ever seen....

Custom house...a spot of cleaning going on !

Union Hotel!

Gorgeous old church!

 

Visual Art Centre....you guys make your own decision about the sculpture!!??

 

Grand Ol Oprey radio show broadcast from this building...oldest radio show there is y'all!!!!

It's one for the money......my blue suede shoes!!! Elvis statues adorn the streets!!!

And yes we have the classical side of things as well!!

 

Music garden....although looking a bit forlorn!!

Two of many plaques along the sidewalk of fame!!

Back to hotel for a nap to refresh ourselves for the night downtown!!

Arrived back in town and ventured into the bars...first stop Moonshine bar and a glass of banana moonshine!!!! Wandered around from bar to bar......rain put a bit of a damper on things but not enough for most patrons.... Mate is it noisy.....but a big police presence so it's very safe....we caught the last shuttle bus back to hotel and had a nightcap at the bar !!
