Photo from the boat.
While we visited the Nashville area we stayed in the well-known, Opryland Hotel. This hotel site is huge featuring acres of lush vegetations, waterfalls, beautiful brick trails among this all. One area has an island. Anyone who knows anything about an island should realize by now that this island was surrounded by a quarter of a mile river. Laurie and I took a boat tour of this island area.
The mazing aspect of these forest sites within the hotel is the fact they are all enclosed under glass and maintained at certain temperatures and humidity levels. I heard there are about nine acres of these woodland, trails, waterfalls and flowering sites.
The interior, as well as, the exterior of the hotel lands were decorated with many, many Christmas lights. Poinsettias and decorated Christmas trees could be found throughout the hotel. I will do a separate entry with the flowers and orchids of these sites.
A handful of photos below. (Just a few of the many photos I took.)
