Nashville, TN to Paducah, KY

+176=5806
We went to Nashville to see what it is all about. We got there Sunday afternoon just as the CMA Festival was ending. Lots of people in town. The only show was the closing concert with many name artists so it was sold out of course. We went downtown and listened to several bands in the bars on Broadway. Monday morning we walked through the gardens of the Opryland Hotel. It covers 9 acres. Big waterfalls and bigger trees.





On to Mammoth Cave. It lives up to its name. Very different than the other caves we have been in. Huge rooms that are difficult to photograph. We went through some very tight spaces.























We arrived in Paducah, KY this afternoon. It was too late to visit the National Quilt Museum (will go there tomorrow) so went to a very large quilt shop, Hancocks of Paducah. I looked at most all their fabric and finally decided on a little to purchase as they were closing. We then went downtown. This is the confluence of the Tennessee and Ohio Rivers. There is a lot of barge traffic here.











There is a flood wall along the river. They have beautiful murals painted all along that show the history of the city. A very interesting city.
