Day 2 - No 1
All a bit of a blur! Had 6 meetings and discovered that Nashville is NOT a pedestrian/public transport-friendly town. One bus per hour on most routes. And no taxis on the street.
Next three days most of meetings will be around Conference program - so much easier.
Haven't quite got the strength to go through the meetings - sorry, will do soon.
So far managing to cope with traffic quite well. Have only tried to get in the drivers seat twice and only been nearly run over once - looking the wrong way of course.
And another thing - no bikes anywhere in the city! Apparently they ride them out in the burbs, but no bike lanes or anything similar.
Got the shock of my life last night. Walking back to the hotel when a tree started talking to me! "Hello, this is Mayor ...... welcome to music city ..." I know I'd had a big day, but ....
On closer examination, it appears that there tiny speakers hidden in the shrubbery around city and motion activated. Just got out before it started playing country music - close one!
More soon.
