Breakfast this morning was in 2 parts--early I had a cup of hot tea. Now how difficult is hot tea to make? A cup, hot water, a tea bag. Would you believe $3? Not even any lemon available. After awhile N and I had brunch and I had a really nice fruit plate for just a little more than the hot tea. After we finished eating, we ducked in to check out the "40% off" sale at Godiva Chocolate. Only certain items were on sale and I almost bought some til I remembered that when we get home tomorrow we are going back on the South Beach diet again. We did see a "vat" of warm milk chocolate for dipping strawberries. There were 4 prices and these prices are PER BERRY dipped in their special chocolate. $4 for a regular sized berry, $6 for a "large", $8 for an extra large and $10 for what they called a "premium". I can do that at home for the cost of the berries and it'll be dark chocolate (which is SO much better for me)
On the way to the theatre our driver pointed out the Tennessee Titan's stadium Taking pictures from a bus through a window which is covered w/ mesh doesn't produce a wonderful image, but this one is for Gail.
We also saw the Batman building. Not sure why they called it that the other day, but today when I saw it--Oh, Yeah, it looks like Batman's head gear. Strange shape for the top of a building. We heard all about the Wild Horse Saloon and Tootsie's Orchid Lounge (which is 42 steps from the Ryman Auditorium where the Grand Ole Opry used to be.) The driver also told us that performers made that trek more than once a night--people such as Ernest Tubb and Patsy Cline. That is also where Willie Nelson hawked his songs to other performers cuz he couldn't get anyone to hire him to sing.
I'll finish this tomorrow cuz it's WAY past my bedtime and I still have to pack for the ride back home tomorrow. Til then.....
