Day 6. 1,334 miles

Well, we had such a great time the first night that we decided to stay another in Nashville. The first night, we had a taste of the music scene, the second, a real taste. We had dinner at "The Pharmacy subtitled and advertised as 'the wurst burger joint in Nashville.' It's pretty much burgers and beer. Local beef and real phosphate soda. Mmmmmmmmm. I think Craig might be secretly plotting a plan to move to Nashville.
The diversity of places we have been already has been exhilarating. One morning we wake up on a mountain top, the next night we're in a smokey dive bar that turns out to be the shooting location for the Black Keys latest music video.
I left my summer internship with the feeling that the job, the routine I was doing was bad for my soul. The sheer boredom of commuters moving through their routines left me empty. There is something truly frightening about watching someone do something: waiting for a train, handing you a cup of coffee, and the fact that all of those moments are completely forgotten. There are cups of coffee that we will forget on this trip, buy the days are clearly punctuated by the people and places that surround us.

Our awesome bikes on the East end of Nashville.

The Farm Burger and the Pharmacy Burger at the Pharmacy in Nashville.

Curry Ketchup and Maple Mustard. We ARE writing home about it. - in the back: bottle of phosphate used for making phosphate sodas. The elusive bottles labeled "extinct acid phosphate solution". Cool points for that one...

Chattanooga Imperial Pilsner.

The Blackberry and Lemon Old Fashioned. Next door at Holland House for after dinner cocktails.

Location:Nashville, Tennessee
