August 11th: Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee (Nashville!)


Nashville, at last!! :)

Theme song: "New Shoes" by Paolo Nutini

I was still not feelin' a 100 %, so UC drove all the way to Nashville, again we had to drive through the most horrible rain, now with thunder and lightning as well. On our way there we stopped in Springfield, Tennessee, to take pictures at the sign (yes, I am a Simpsons fan!!!). On our way there we drove through Bartholomew and Simpson County, and saw the exit to Shelbyville. 

From Springfield we drove to Nashville. There we decided to stay at the Comfort Inn on Demonbreun Street. And: they have a pool! So guess where we spent the first half hour..of yes..it was fantastic! With 98 fahrenheit (36,5 grader) outside, a swim was more than welcome. We shared the pool with lotsa kids and their parents, and a few hunks! And two middleaged men in their Speedos, but we mostly ignored them, and focused on the cute guys. And as we were leaving for dinner they made it clear that they had noticed us too. Always nice to be appreciated :)

We walked down to Broadway street where we went bananas and bought awesome cowboy boots and UC also bought a wicked cowboy hat =) Oh, we had so much fun!
We just had to post pictures of our new shoes:
These are UC's boots, and they ARE made for walking :)

I love this store, and we got a really good discount for no reason at all!
Boots are soooo much fun!
The store is located om 219 Broadway in case any of you are planning a trip :)

After shopping we went for some food at a restaurant nearby, the Big River, and had starters for dinner (the starters are huge, it was enough for us). Here I got a really nice compliment. Some guy walked across the restaurant just to come over to us and ask me if I was single. I had to answer that, yes I am, but I don't live in Nashville. And today of all days, when I still don't feel well. It was perfect timing! The guys in Nashville (old (referring mainly to the old cowboy where we got the boots) and young) were real gentlemen and we got lots of compliments all night, niceness ;)

Now we're just hanging out in our hotel room, we'll soon go to bed I think. And tomorrow I hope I'm back to normal.

Have a good day everybody!

  3. Hey sis :) looks like you're having lots of fun over there, which is great :D Home here everything is fine, under a week untill school starts, it's exiting, but also a little scary.
    Your kittens are behaving very good, but I think they miss you, they whine A LOT!
    Have a nice time, and be careful!
    Lots of hugs ~~ Elli
