Wow

Today started so calmly driving up the trace to Nashville, pleasant picnic on the way, hotel was ready early so I could check in, had time for a walk down town and book my ticket for tonight's Grand Old Opry, back to the hotel for a shower before getting up to the Opry in plenty of time for a snack before the performance. The show started with acts good and bad until the interval then got better and better until the last act Chris Janson came on and blew the place apart. Everyone left the place buzzing and I climbed into the car to drive back to the hotel, that's when the mayhem started. 
Driving at night down an eight lane highway I am unfamiliar with which has turn offs and slip roads both sides and the average speed up in the seventies, at one point I was in the second lane looking for my turn off when an eighteen wheeler undertook me doing at least 20 mph faster than I was.
By the time I got back to my hotel I was speechless and giggling with relief of still being alive.

So cheers everyone, I'm on my second already.

  1. Sounds like you're having a great time. You've just made Roy jealous he's always wanted to go to Nashville.
