Excellent nights sleep and about 10.30am we set off for downtown which is basically fairly boring but with one street full of bars with live music. The river Cumberland runs through the town and there is a small scale mock up of Fort Nashborough which ain't anything special.

We decided to head back to the Shopping Mall from yesterday and to see "The Grand Ole Opry" - which is a large Country Music theatre built on the popularity of the oldest continous radio show in the USA.

Wiki:

The Grand Ole Opry is a weekly Saturday night country music radio program broadcast live on WSM radio in Nashville, Tennessee, and televised on Great American Country network. It is the oldest continuous radio program in the United States, having been broadcast on WSM since October 18, 1925.

It kinda didn't do it for us and as the rain started (albeit still 78f) we got into the Mall. MJ trailed around Munchie while "we" shopped and took a chicken sandwich. What can you say about a Mall?

Back at the hotel we took another snooze and awoke to rain and an overcast sky.
