Day 2 (Sep. 30, 2011) NASHVILLE SIGHTSEEING – LYNCHBURG – GRAND OLE OPRY

This morning to Lynchburg (about 90 minuted southeast of Nashville): The weather was cool and windy, but clear. We join a whiskey expert and tour the Jack Daniel's Distillery, the oldest registered distillery in the USA and producer of the famous "Old No. 7" whiskey.

The tour was great even though Lynchburg is in a "dry county" and no liquor can be served there.  We had a great lunch at Jack Daniel's - pulled pork, chicken, beans, potato salad, cooked apples stewed in Jack Daniel's, and very, very sweet pecan pie.

We arrived back in Nashville around 2:45pm.  Again, we walked around the Honky Tonk area and ate at National Underground pub before going back to our resort.

At 6:30 we headed for the Grand Ole Opry. Seats on the second row from the stage, but very much to the side.  Mike Snider, Jim Ed Brown, The Whites, Little Jimmy Dickens, and the band Exile were some of the acts.  It was a great show.
