Destination Nashville = Accomplished


I have officially and finally left Cleveland behind me. I thought I would be more emotional leaving and saying goodbye to people, but I wasn't. It was all smiles as I pulled out of the gray scale, chilly, dreary land of Cleve yesterday, vegan pumpkin loaf in hand...
Somewhere in mid-Ohio where fall is just beginning to occur...

My navigator who sleeps most of the time and occasionally picks her head up to investigate our whereabouts and sniff the air flowing in through the cracked window...

A shout out to you Zeus!!

Downtown Columbus (I've never been)....

Cincinasty!!!!


Entering Kentucky. It was pretty for a while, then it got boring. Hit some traffic before Louisville which slowed me down by about 45 minutes.

Kentucky country scene....which was about half the drive...

Signs of a metropolis in the midst of country!!!! Louisville KY, home of the Cardinals and apparently the "World Corvette Museum"...

Driving mania is starting to set in as I snap a photo of myself going 70mph in the middle of Bourbon-ville Kentucky!!
YES!!!! THIS IS WHERE I WANT TO GO!!!!!
Entering Tennessee, damn wiper got in the way. It appears that I brought the gray, dreary, chilly weather with me. Damn Cleveland, let me out of your grip, I AM GONE!!!

The pumpkin loaf has arrived!! Klassy Kate is the best hostess ever. Last night she whipped up some orzo with yams & spicy cheese, a lovely salad, and some dense yet delightful cornbread. This morning was banana/chocolate chip/flax seed whole wheat pancakes and coffee. YUM!!
Last night some live music at the 5 Spot with an ambient musician, who I can respect for what he's doing, but damn that shit was rocking me to sleep!

So onto the bluegrass jam at The Station Inn, which was most excellent.

There were some German's up in that piece talking amongst themselves and in sync Klassy Kate and I look at each other and say "Is that German?" then start laughing. And then there was poor Nigel (pictured in the orange/blue striped sweater)...He was a jammer and had a lady friend there to watch him. She was there with a male friend, and when she said, "Goodnight Nigel" he couldn't even muster up the words to say goodbye, he just watched her leave w/ her male friend with a bittersweet longing. It was a painful look to watch, and I'm not quite sure if he realized how painful an expression he was giving off. Klassy and I wondered what this woman did to him, or better yet, what she hadn't done.....

Off to explore downtown Nashville in the daylight. More to come.

HA! Ok, so I can't spell today. I was too overwhelmed when I read that Kentucky housed the World Corvette Museum. Again, who would have ever thought???
