One of the main reasons for coming to Nashville was to see the Grand Ole Opry, I think that would be most people's first stop, hmmm! It was CLOSED! To be fair, it was flooded in May and opens in about two weeks time, so we've just missed out..JPG)
We headed out to The Hermitage, which was on our to do list anyway. This was the home of the 7th President Andrew Jackson. The mansion house is really well preserved and stands pretty much how it did back in the day. There was no photography permitted inside the house but the rooms were large, well furnished and reminded us of Gone With the Wind. Andrew Jackson went to war with us Brits in 1812 and won! The big house is the rear of the Plantation Mansion

He kept a quite a few slaves these are the outhouses they lived in
In the afternoon we took the city trolley tour for an hour but the trolley was being repaired so we were in a small bus. It's not a particularly large city so we were able to visit the park which has a replica of The Parthenon and the Chattanooga Train.
Both evenings we went to Broadway which is downtown and had very good food and enjoyed the live bands in the Honky Tonk and The Stage bars.
