Holiday Inn University Plaza-Bowling Green

Today we toured Mammoth Cave, It got its name cause it so huge 371 miles discovered so far. We toured for 4 1/2 hours seeing 4 miles. If you think vacationing is a good way to get out of work, not today!!!, It was steep inclines, 700 plus stairs and like being in a sauna. Heck I probably loss weight today. Its a limestone cave and some gypsum. The 1st mile was an easy stroll thru a well lit passage way ...

... bed and in large bedroom, Here we are cramped in a small room with a queen bed with a small slide out at the head of the bed. That means all noise is magnified including the Mr.'s snorning. At home it is like a lullaby but here more like dynamite blasting. Problem was allievated by using extra pillows.<br> What we learned: Next 5th wheel will definitely have a king size bed.<br><br>Tomorrow- heading for the National Corvette Museum.

... group. The next act on the lineup was the &#8220;Kentucky School of Bluegrass Music.&#8221; Curtis Burch is an instructor there. It featured a lovely group of musicians, both older and younger. One young lady was from Tokyo, Japan, a hotbed of bluegrass music! (Just kidding)! Watching and listening to these fine musicians made me wish I had started to play a musical instrument, ANY musical instrument, when I was about ...

... the John Cowan Band, and the Sam Bush Band. Unless you&#8217;ve seen these musicians live, there is no way at all the express how good they are. My music, the best in the world, bar none. I know, It&#8217;s only my opinion, I know, I as Lynn Bush said to me, &#8220;You have impeccable taste.&#8221; I think so! (Also, after I totally agreed with Lynn, Greg said, "After all, she married me)!" It got a great laugh ...

... got a nice hug from him, too. What a day, what great new/old friends, and what fabulous music! Even later in the day, I saw Sam behind the yellow tape, (a somewhat unsecure barrier between backstage and the audience), and of course, I had to say hello to him. Another hug! I&#8217;m ready for the next day! <br><br>Mary&#8217;s Version<br><br><br><br>Before the music even started, I had another agenda. Since I have been on Sam Bush&#8217;s message board for ...

... thunder storm went through town. <br><br>Around 1:30 we finished shopping at the gift shop (it only cost us $85 to get out) and went in search of lunch on Broadway. It seems that very bar on Broadway has live music all day long. We looked into Tootsie's but it really is a dive and ended up a few doors down the street where I ate a turkey melt for lunch. (I really was trying to eat right.)<br><br>It took us a few minutes to find the Ryman and were able to get ...

... s because, not only is there a restaurant, there is a store where you can buy all sorts of souvenirs such as&#8217; t-shirts, mugs, CDs, aprons, preserves, pottery, holiday items, etc. It&#8217;s a really nice souvenir store.
