Nashville is a huge tourist destination. It draws people from all over the world. It used to draw a lot more, before they closed Opryland. Now the city wonders why tourism is down. Could be that people might travel across the globe for the Opry, but not for Opry Mills (the giant shopping mall that took Opryland's place).

I had a passport. I believe it's expired now.

There is a great show on PBS that Mister and I watch every week, called Globe Trekker. They go to all different places all around the world, and usually to non-tourist attractions. Plus, I also enjoy Rick Steves' travel show on PBS.

I was having lunch with a friend the other day, and we sat outside on the patio. He said, if this could be anywhere in the world, where would you want it to be?

My answer? Istanbul. :-)
