Today was a pretty quiet day. We hung around the unit catching up on computer stuff and reading most of the day. We ventured out for lunch at Chuy's, a Mexican restaurant nearby which is one of a chain and quite good. It's located in the Opry Mall which is about a mile from us and right next to the Grand Ole Opry, so we walked around the mall after lunch. The highlight for Michael was the huge Bass Pro Shop where he spent a while in the fly fishing section.
The main activity of the day was our evening at the Grand Ole Opry. We took the shuttle from the resort so as not to have to figure out parking, which was a good decision. It was quite an interesting experience. The theater holds over 4,700 and it was sold out. They only have shows 3 days a week. In the 2 hour show (2 shows each night) there were about 7 acts, most singing only 3 songs, with commercial breaks in between since this is actually a radio show as well. The headliner for this show was Keith Urban. Our only complaint was that, as often happens with live shows, we couldn't hear the lyrics for most of the songs. When we got home, out of curiosity we tuned into the radio show for the second show of the evening and the singer was quite clear as if on a recording.
