Touring Nashville

January 9: It was Saturday and a free day to roam around Nashville with my uncle and his kids. It was a very cold day though, so we didn't spend too much time outside. My fingers were freezing, but I made the sacrifice of using my camera in order to capture my downtown Nashville visit. We stopped by this statue of Jacques Timothe Boucher de Montbrun (1747-1826) by the river, and he was honored as Nashville's "first citizen." We drove near to the AT&T building, also known as the Batman building because it resembles a Gotham City-like structure, especially from a distance and close to evening. I've always enjoyed seeing the building and it's quite the Nashville landmark with how it resembles the mask of superhero character Batman . There's also another landmark that's close to the heart of the city: The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, where part of the building is shaped to look like a keyboard. The Pinnacle building and Shelby Street Bridge over the Cumberland River were nice sites to see.

One of the most peculiar but beautiful places I visited was The Parthenon at Metro Parks. Yes, it's a Parthenon, like the one in Greece. I've never been to Greece, but I would love to go and see the real Parthenon. At least I got to see this building and enjoy it's view as the sun set.
