Here we enjoyed a wonderful concert tonight.

Left for a day in Nashville at 10 a.m. and got back to the Campsite at 10 p.m.   We started off by stopping at the Visitor's Centre acquiring some information for today and also booking an evening at the Bluebird Cafe for tomorrow night.    This is where aspiring song-writers and new artists perform - all on the threshold of 'making it' on the music scene.   We had lunch at an upstairs restaurant however we all dearly wanted to hear some live Music..... after all we were in Nashville!    Leisurely we wandered - dropping in at various shops - and then the rain started!    Last night there was lightning and thunder and now it had started again.   Some of us had umbrellas but some didn't - and so got quite wet.    Then we decided to drop in on "The Stage" - and enjoyed about 30 minutes of Country Music by a very good group over diet cokes.   Still anxious to take in a concert tonight - we visited the Grande Old Opry to see if we could get tickets - and that we did.  So...tonight we experienced 2 1/2 hours of wonderful Country music which all of us thoroughly enjoyed.   It ended up being a fabulous day and even though we got a little wet and bedraggled looking....accomplished everything we wanted to do and more!
