Tuesday:
We got to
our hotel in Atlanta, I got us a free upgrade, American's love the Irish. Chris
booked us in to what looks like a pretty sketchy 2 star hotel downtown
Nashville. We went to a sports bar and watched Golden State win the NBA finals.
Another day, another drive, another useful Chris
Wednesday:
We got up
early and headed for the Coca Cola museum, tried over 100 different types of
Coke drinks from all over the world.
Next up
was a tour of CNN studios where we were shown everything from the news rooms to
the researchers floor. We then went on to the College Football Museum, where we
got to catch, kick and throw footballs. Peter got his college results and got
first class honours so we had to go out and celebrate. Chris found a place
called MJQ online and Wednesday's were college nights so we headed there. This
is what we arrived to.
We almost didn't get out of the taxi, but the taxi man
convinced us it was fine. The three of us, terrified headed in to this shed.
Fortunately we survived the night.
Delighted to have survived.
Thursday:
Up at
10.45, quick pack and checked out of the hotel. Had breakfast at the local
Waffle House, it was packed so must be good. It was not great. We ate through
our hangovers and headed to the aquarium, America's biggest. Drove 5 hours to
Nashville, got to the sketchy hotel and it looked pretty awful. Thankfully, the
book wasn't like cover and the room was really nice. We headed out for dinner.
Nashville was bouncing, live music in every bar. Horses and cart tours down the
main strip, with everyone wearing cowboy boots. So we had no choice we had to
go out here. Chris didn't feel the same way, so he stayed in. Peter and I had a
great night, more free drinks courtesy of the accent. We got up Friday, checked
out and drove 5 more hours back to St. Louis. Kelly cooked a lovely spag bol for us which was definitely needed. Spending the next week being healthy before playing in tournament next weekend. Going in to radio silence for a
week or two
Chris was also asleep at this point, I just couldn't get the pic
Thanks for reading :)
