besides line dancing, climbing on waterfalls, playing in olympic fountains, snorkelling in the wild, diving for keys and lingering along lonely beaches i got to see somewhat exotic animals:


owls, bats, manatees, black bears, hermit crabs, butterflies, wild pigs, baby clams [and a humming bird right after our returning].

we had fun!

2008/08/08 country music capital

what new orleans is for jazz, nashville is for country music. we lingered through the city and one clishé followed another.

lonesome hill billy in the street

country music hall of fame

oldest show print room in the states

country legends everywhere

after the sunset [another stunninng view] over the city..

we lingered along lower broadway to experience nightlife in the oh so famous honky tonks.

shania twain.. -ish

gay cowboy at the wildehorse saloon..

..who even made me line dance. was fun, i have to admit. got it taped, will be published asap *smile*.

piano clash: 2 piano players battle against each other.. very entertaining.

the next day we hung around in downtown, but before leaving we picknicked in front of the parthenon.. or rather an exact replica of it.

well, country fans.. you gotta go to this city!
