Would you consider it lucky or unlucky that on my first trip to Nashville I just so happened to witness the hottest temperatures in the city's history?
I guess if heat is what I wanted it's what I got. As per the wonderful Phil Swaney's suggestion, I tried Silly Goose on Friday night followed by Jeni's ice cream. I wasn't at all disappointed.
Despite setting my alarm wrong, I still woke up at 7:30 Saturday and drug my butt out to the park to do an 18 mile bike ride around the city. If there's any doubt, cycling is the best way to see a city fast.
In the afternoon I attempted to get Belle out so I took her to the Shelby dog park. She was interested for all of five minutes before she conked out in the shade. Even walking across some of the stones was too hot for her paws- she basically got stuck and I had to go rescue her.
We did a brief tour of Vanderbilt and Centennial Park that was broken up by a delicious Ben & Jerry's stop. Two of the sweetest high school kids took pity on Belle and gave her a dish of water and let us sit in the shop.
In the evening I checked out the Broadway scene first before moving on to the cooler, hipper club with some locals. Safe to say I didn't get near enough Nashville.
