Road Trip Update: Nashville

We departed Little Rock, Arkansas this morning and proceeded through Memphis, Tennessee, to Nashville, a city which is described as “the Athens of the South”—and it has a full-scale replica of the Parthenon to boot! Complete with restored friezes and metopes. Man, is that awesome. Apparently there’s a big gold and ivory statue of Athena Parthenos inside, just like there used to be in the original; we may just have to go back before we leave town tomorrow.

Remember, the full photo gallery is here; there are quite a few photos from today’s travels. Here are some of my favourites:
