Into Nashville

It took me about an hour to get into Nashville this morning and I went to the Hostel listed in the Lonely Planet. It didn't seem too bad so I booked in for 2 nights. The hostel is in a collection of brick bungalows in a semi-industrial area. I took a drive down to the town centre just as a huge storm broke. After realising it wasn't going to stop too soon I looked for something to do indoors. The Farmers Market was just out of the city and I headed over there. The market is a huge long covered market in 3 sections. The central part is enclosed as a food court and I get a coffee in here. The rain had now slowed to a slow to a drizzle, I took a walk around the third of the market which was operating, mostly there were just plant sales, it looks like the market was on a slow day. Next door was a monument of some kind to the history of the USA, large black granite blocks are spaced down a garden, each represents a decade and is engraved with quotes from famous people of the time. Back at the hostel I chatted with a number of the other people there before going to bed
