Milepost 3,247 (Nashville-Day 2)

Today was our one full day in Nashville.  In the morning, we went to the Ryman Auditorium, which was the long-time home of the Grand Ole Opry.  As you can see in the photo, we were invited on-stage to perform.  This was taken after our fifth or sixth standing ovation (you lose track after awhile).  Seriously, the place was amazing.  My only regret is that our schedule did not permit us to see a live musical performance at the Ryman.

This afternoon, we went to The Hermitage, which is the plantation home of President Andrew Jackson.  Another very interesting historical site.  And we saw it on another hot, humid day.  If it was cooler today, the difference from yesterday was not discernible to us.  Tomorrow, we go to Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains.  We're hoping that a little elevation will provide at least some relief from the heat.
