12/8

Greetings from the Union Station Hotel in downtown Nashville. J took the "butler tour" at Biltmore yesterday AM, so we didn't leave until 1PM. Then we spent 3+ hours driving through the mountains on Rt 40 while it rained constantly. More trucks than passenger cars. When we pulled into Holiday Inn just west of Knoxville around 4:30, the temp was 36 and it was snowing. Fortunately, it was clear and dry today with nothing but sun coming out of the sky. We are next door to the Frist museum, which has an exhibit on Egypt. So J had to see it. Tomorrow, we will visit the Hermitage. Saturday we head for Louisville.
