Getting our country onn.

We woke up late-ish and headed into Nashville, where we visited the Farmer's Market to collect ingredients for dinner. We had decided to make our hosts spaghetti bolognese, a general crowd pleaser and something we're pretty good at, plus, we knew we were visiting the market, so it seemed like a good time to cram in some local veg.

We had a look around the market, were given a free bulb of garlic as a present for being English, visited an Indian food shop and decided to grab some lunch.
I had some strange chicken which tasted like it'd been boiled for far too long and was covered in lots of pepper and spices. It came with a roll.
Mum was more successful and chow'd down to some falafal, salad and flatbread.

Satisfied (to a degree), we scouted out the free Nashville bus and took a trip to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. The tour was pretty awesome, we paid Elvis' gold car a visit, saw some old school country music videos and saw Dolly Parton's original lyric sheet for 'Jolene!
It was a great place to spend the day, although the hall of fame had strange metal plaques which didn't really fit the musicians! The gift shop was full of things we definitely needed to buy, so we stocked up on our country gifts and headed back to Antioch.

On the way back we stopped at a discount liquor store where we (once again) remarked on the ridiculously cheap prices, and amazing selections of spirits and purchased a bottle or two...or three..or four.

We cooked up quite a fantastic dinner with a nice, fresh salad (something we'd both been craving!) and spent the evening drinking wine, chatting more and generally having a lovely time!
