Day 4 - Nashville
Sunday, 6. September 2009, 21:43:05
Woke up at an Econolodge outside of Knoxville. Big improvement from last night, and we got a discount because "Y'all are funny". Before going to bed the previous night we enjoyed some beers and tv in the room. If you ever get the chance to watch Knoxville public access TV, do so. It's hilarious. If you get the opportunity to drink Michelob ULTRA, kill it. Kill it with fire.
Covered a hundred miles or so to get to Nashville. We've been averaging about a tank a day for what it's worth. That works out to about 400-450 miles.
Nashville turned out to be a bit of a let-down. Not very pedestrian friendly, and the strip of concert places and bars were tiny. To their credit, it would have been hard to find a bar without live music.
Visited the Country Music Hall of fame, which I guess is sorta required there. The exhibits were good, but no being much of a country fan to begin with, it wasn't that exciting.
After a round through downtown we decided this wasn't a great place to spend the night, so we drove to Memphis, get an early start on the Elvistastic. Got pulled over on the way there by a scary looking highway trooper. Apparently we were doing 75 in a 70 zone. Probably it was out nice shiny Japanese sports car in the middle of Tennessee that set him off. Oh well.
