Hop On...Hop Off

Today was our trolley day in Nashville.  A couple weeks ago I ordered trolley tickets for us, figuring it was the best way to see the city, maximize our visit, and minimize our steps.  Not knowing how bad the traffic would be going into Nashville, we left really early for the 15 mile drive down I-65. 
Picture
Rush hour traffic wasn't nearly as bad as we were afraid of, and we were parked and playing tourist by 9 o'clock.  Our trolley ticket was for 10 a.m., so we had an hour to stroll around and get our bearings. At ten we hopped on and started our circuit around town.

Dan, our driver, had a great sense of humor, played trivia games with us, and gave us a wonderful narration of Music City history, architecture, and music.

The one hour tour made 7 stops and we were able to hop on and hop off all we wanted to!

We didn't know until last evening while at supper with Randy, that this week is Country Music Association's  Music Festival.  It's the biggest celebration of the year and one where country music artists give concerts on stages all around lower Broadway for their fans.
Picture
This morning at the Grand Ole Opry, Carrie Underwood gave a free concert and she'll be there again for two shows this evening with The Oak Ridge Boys and others.

It seemed like everywhere we went today there were posters, banners, stages, and music.  It made our day just a little more special if that was possible!

The fact that I took almost 200 pictures today should tell you something about how our day went.  I'll wait until I get back home on Friday to start telling you stories about some of these places like Antique Archaeology, Ernest Tubb Record Shop, our lunch at the Wildhorse Saloon, Hatch Show Print, the neon signs that were so colorful and cool, cowboy boots, and much, much more!

Tomorrow we leave the Music City for the Civil War battlefield portion of our little trip.  Join me tomorrow evening to hear about our Wednesday.  Thanks for dropping by today to pick up your Nashville Postcard!
