Great tips, thanks! Tomorrow they're off to the Grand Ole Opry and some other place, can't remember where now. They did a tour of the state capitol and she was rather disgusted that there was a large bust of Nathan Bedford Forrest sitting there. She told me about him and he doesn't sound like the kind of guy who should have a bust of his head in the state capitol she is very well versed/read in civil war history - she has just visited Champion Hill battle field where a distant cousin of ours died fighting in the 24 Iowa Infantry.
Ah, she'll love Nasheville. TONS to do. If she wants to hear some good music, there is a little hole-in-the-ground place (literally as the enterance is in an alley) started by BB King. "Blackstone's" is a great brewery with wonderful but not terribly expensive food down that same street. Have to take a taxi or drive to get there as they are not exactly within walking distance. Another "do not miss."
Opryland (mall) and especially the hotel are also just amazing. Hotel before the mall but they sit right next to one another. Hotel is like a giant amusement park!
I name indoor places as it is rather brisk and rainy fall weather here. Hope she has a good time!

Guido! Random piece of info for you - my twin sister is currently in your neck of the woods (state wise anyway), she's in Nashville at the moment with a couple of friends. Drove from Memphis, via the Shiloh battlefield, today.
