Day 43: Nashville

Yesterday was day 43 of our trip. We began our day at Elliston Place Soda Shop for breakfast. It's an old fashioned diner and soda fountain and eating there was like taking a step back in time.

We walked downtown and visited the Tennessee State Museum. We spent several hours there and still didn't see everything, but they did have an interesting Civil War exhibit and a collection of Native American artifacts and Antebellum furniture. We then ventured over to the Capitol building and went on a guided tour. Most of the photos are from inside the building, which was completed in the late 1800s.

We finished the day by hanging out with some folks we met at the hostel and watching live music downtown. It was quite the international crew - three people from Norway, an Australian, and a Brit. Super fun folks, some of the best we've met on this trip.
