I left Dublin in snow, passed through Chicago - in the snow and landed in Nashville - no snow - about 7pm. Hotel is good and location is pretty good too. There's a small row of shops across a big stretch of road and I'm sitting in a cafe-bar there and there's wifi.
I was knackered on arrival but came over here and ate an excellent shepards pie with a pint of Guinness. Enda Cullen recommended it to me and I haven't been disappointed. I've just eaten a char-grilled burger - rare and I've never had one as good before. With Swiss cheese and fried onions, not to mention the fries, the bill came to 6.56 dollars (inc. taxes)
I'm hanging out here and giving myself an easy day. I walked for 2 or 3 miles before I found my car rental depot and have so not got a handle on getting around - need to buy a box of matches for instance - or a lighter - but don't know where the shops are - toothpaste too.
People are very friendly and open to chatting too. I played a couple of songs here last night too, wandered into the famous Tootsies at about one and there was a guy playing - stunning voice - he'd been playing since 10 and would be till the changeover at 2 - and for tips only.
Oh yes, I opened my curtains this morning - snowflakes.
