Nashville Tour

On our first full day in Nashville we took a local tour buss through downtown and the subdivisions where some of the stars live. Downtown we had a stop at the Tom Ryman Auditorium.

Thomas Green Ryman a prominent riverboat captain and Nashville businessman, Tom Ryman was known for his generous contributions of time and money to the construction of the Union Gospel Tabernacle. In 1904 the Tabernacle was renamed the Ryman Auditorium in his honor. The Ryman Auditorium is used form many shows and concerts. Sandi is standing by the statue and monument in front of the Auditorium. The sculptor was Steve Shields.




This is a picture of the Auditorium Lobby.










The tour also took us through some of the homes of the stars, some of these make Cherry Hills in the Denver area look like starter homes.




Friday night we have tickets to the "Grand Ole Opry".
