Motorcycle Road Trip, DAY 10 (final): Sweetwater, TN to Nashville, TN

Waking up on our 'floating cabin' was great.  Such a soft bed, and Lauren got out of bed first to make coffee while I stayed horizontal and wrote my notes from Day 9.  We made omelets and hit the road.
My jacket still smells like gasoline, but luckily it was warm and sunny enough to just wear flannel.

Lauren had a bus to catch so we had to jet down the highway.  But an hour or so westward, she realized that we crossed a time difference, and actually didn't need to rush anymore!  We stopped for gas and got lunch at a cozy restaurant called Rose's Garden and had fried catfish, fried squash, dried okra, and blackberry cobbler.  All in all, the bill came out to $19!- hahaha, what?!

Back on the road, we made it to Nashville with time to spare so we went to a thrift store and bought me a shirt to wear at the wedding's rehearsal dinner.
I dropped Lauren off at the bus station, but it was too rushed to be sad/difficult.
The ride from the bus station was uneventful, and then I was parking in the driveway of our Nashville AirBnb, my final destination.  I guess that's it.  I return the bike to the local Eagle Rider's tomorrow.
Hmm.

This trip was enormous.  I'm sure the reality of it won't fully hit me for years to come.
Absolutely incredible.
Thank you God.
