Downtown Public Library

We stopped in to Nashville’s downtown public library, which underwent a multimillion dollar renovation in 2001. It’s beautiful!

The Parthenon

We’re officially in the Athens of the South – Nashville! The Parthenon is a full-scale replica of the original Parthenon in Athens. It was originally built in 1897 as a temporary building as part of the Tennessee Centennial Exposition, but the Nashville residents liked it so much they decided to make it permanent.

Athena

This is the arm of Athena (whom the city of Athens was named after, of course!), holding the winged Nike.

The head of Medusa is wrought onto the center of Athena’s aegis, a shield originally given to Athena by Zeus.

These are replicas of the statues that are on the pediments on the east and west sides of the Parthenon. (The originals of the ones in Athens are in the British Museum.)

These are the largest set of matching bronze doors in the whole world – they’re a foot thick, and weigh seven and a half tons each.

Mammoth Cave National Park

We decided to take a quick weekend road trip down to Nashville, and ended up stopping (and getting VERY lost in!) Mammoth Cave National Park. It’s amazing! The caves extend for more than 350 miles, and have their own internal weather – it’s 54° all year long, and almost no humidity.

We stopped to look at some geodes along the way, and we came across this general store that had a little bit of everything: geodes, vintage Coke bottles, ammunition, and even a big plastic dinosaur.

The Sushi Nest

This is from an amazing lunch with friends at the Sushi Nest in Chicago – yum!

Meet Aoife!

Meet Aoife, my friend’s new kitten that she just adopted from the Humane Society! Aoife means “life giver” in Irish.
