After our Bourbon Trail trip, we drove another 3 hours south to Nashville Tennessee - the worlds country music capital. We went to the Parthenon - a real life size replica of the building in Greece. We then went for a drive through town stopping at the State Capitol Building which overlooks Bicentennial Mall.
The Parthenon
We dropped our car at the hotel, and walked in to town where all the action was happening. Nashville is awesome! There is live country music blasting from every bar and saloon (yes saloon!), and there are stacks of bars lining the streets! There were people in cowboy boots and hats, souvenir shops and more bars!! We spent the afternoon walking around the streets, stopping in at bars and souvenir shops along the way. Our final destination was the Wildhorse Saloon. We drank beer and cocktails while watching people learning how to line dance, and ate some more good 'ol Southern food. Ryan had about 2 kilos of meat for dinner, including ribs, beef and pulled pork - a Southern favourite. Their bathrooms were really cool too - they had the people in there that help you wash your hands! Of course you are supposed to tip them for their assistance.

Every one down south eats biscuits and gravy for brekkie. Its like a salty scone, with a gravy with bits of sausage in it. This is Ryan trying one.
