Friday morning, we did more sightseeing before our flight leaves this afternoon.
First stop, the Parthenon in Nashville. A replica, originally built for Tennessee's Centennial Exposition in 1897; it is amazing. Inside is a small art museum, the replica of the 42 foot statue of Athena, plaster casts of the original sculptures and huge brass doors.
Then we drove out to Andrew Jackson's plantation, The Hermitage. It was raining still, so we didn't explore the grounds and outbuildings. But what we did tour was splendid and in wonderful condition. We were not allowed to take pictures inside, except in a few rooms.
Afterwards, we drove around a bit, then made our way to the airport and our flight home.
