My Roadtrip: An Aussie in America Days 17

Saturday 9th November 1996

Nashville, Tennessee

My two new friends, Mitzie and Mishelle and I drove to Nashville, Tennessee.

We visited the Parthenon, a full size replica of the original, which was amazing and beautiful..and toured the State Capitol Building and the office of the Governor of Tennessee....

I was very fortunate to be able to do this, as an honourary aussie, and sat in the Governors chair and made a phonecall. Just kidding!!

The Governor of Tennessee at the time was Mr Don Sundquist.

Now do I look like the Governor of Tennessee??? Or just a very lucky Aussie?

Many thanks to my friends for making this possible. I don't think alot of Australians would have had this opportunity....

We walked around Nashville and had lunch at the Old Spaghetti Factory....and finished off the day at the Opryland Hotel Atriums which were divine....

Thank you to my two friends for showing me these wonderful sights....
