Vacation Continued

I have got to get on with this vacation blogging.  So hold on to your seats because here we go.

What better to start off with today then a good old picture of Elvis and I.

Eric and I wondered about the streets of Nashville.  We has some time to tour the town ourselves and have a bite to eat before we were required to be at our next planed destination.

Our next planned destination for the day well actually evening; The Haunted Tavern Tours of Nashville.  We went to about 5 different bars in Nashville to hear ghost stories along the way.  It was a fantastic adventure.  There were several different types of people in  our groups.  I was defiantly and experience.  While on this tour we meet new friends, and they ended up hanging out with us for the rest of the evening.  Which was super fun. 

 

Our ghost martini's for the ever so anticipated Ghost Tour, our first stop: Past Time.

We went upstairs to the story telling area.  I would like to make sure that I state at this time that this was a good tour, and I do recommend this tour.  Although I would also like to state that I do not recommend our particular tour guide that we had.  The main reason, he was new and he continuously reminded us that he is not very good at this and that he is new.  In the beginning I totally sympathized with his situation, but by the end I felt as though I would really rather been with one of those awesome tour guides that he keeps telling us about.  He really did know how to incise us to want to her someone else host the tour, but he was doing himself no favors.  This is not the purpose of our vacation nor this post, therefore I will move on.

We were instructed to take random pictures so that we could possibly see a friendly ghost in them.  We have several of these photos and have yet to see anything unusual.  Here are a few for your viewing, feel free to see for yourself.  There was a method to our madness, we were told where people were stabbed and shot.  With that knowledge I reluctantly pointed my camera in that direction, closed my eyes really tight and then shot the photo.

The couch below, has typically had ghosts show up next to the people on it.  Maybe we should have had our picture taken while sitting on the couch instead of just taking a photo of the couch its self.  A lesson to take with us for our next ghost photo session.

Here we are posing with our new friends that were said to be hanging or floating around.

A maiden was locked in a basement here and died.       Some man was pushed off of the balcony by a ghost here!

I totally don't remember what the guy was saying about this one, I was to busy paying attention to the beggars on the street and wondering why you would take tourist on a tour by this particular street.  While also thinking maybe they think the population in Nashville should not increase and that would be the reason for taking us by these lovely folks.  (I really do have a large compassion for homeless folks, but I have learned that I do not have that compassion while on my vacation.)

All and all I think that it was a lovely adventure for our vacation and one that we have never experience before.  We also participated in a quiz during this tour and me not being a scary movie buff, at all, we totally did not win.

Check in soon to see how the rest of this evening turned out.
