Went to a lovely coffee shop round the corner from the hotel for breakfast this morning called Funky Monkey.  Had amazing pancakes with bacon and fresh fruit.

After breakfast we went back to the Ryman for the gift shop, was too busy last night to look properly.  Brought a couple of post cards and for myself a silver bracelet and black T-shirt with Ryman on it in silver.

This afternoon we went on a Greyline bus tour of the TV program “Nashville”.  It showed us where all the characters houses were and where lots of it were filmed, a lot out in East Nashville which seemed a nice place, all the houses have swing seats on their porches.  It also included a tour of the Ryman Auditorium and we got to have our photo taken on the stage, and see a video of how it all started.

In the evening we went to Broadway for dinner at a bar that was showing the ice hockey game.  Afterwards  we went to a Honkey Tonk, still on Broadway, for a drink and music.

Breakfast

After breakfast we went round the Johnny Cash museum, and were impressed by all the memorabilia they have.  Even got a photograph taken with the man himself – technology is a great thing.

There is a new bridge over the Columbus river which we walked over for a few photographs.  A scene from the NashVille TV program was filmed on the bridge with Rayner and Deacon.

This evening we went to see Opry at the Ryman, tonight star of the show was Rodney Crowell.  Before the show we had a drink in the bar and brought a poster of the shows line up.

Afterwards we had dinner in Pucketts where they had live music and gave us 66% discount for the delay we hadn’t noticed!
