Nashville

On Saturday October 9 we visited the Ryman Auditorium, original home of the Grand Old Opry.

These are a couple of views of the Ryman's interior.
The pictures do not do it justice.
It's beautiful.
Supposedly has acoustics second only to the Mormon Tabernacle in Utah.
Many concerts are held here.
I will definitely see one here if I get back someday.


We also took a trolley trip through the city, seeing other highlights such as the Parthenon, an exact scale replica of the Greece temple; the state capital building (the land for which was purchase for the price of "one milk cow"; and Music Row, where the major recording studios are located. In addition to the nickname "Music City", Nashville is also called "The Athens of the South".

This is the Parthenon.
Again, very impressive.
