1. we schlepped him straight from the airport to THE most important landmark in Atlanta: Krispy Kreme donuts! Ok, ok, this may seem foolish but Friday was national donut day!
At night we headed to Piedmont Park for a picknick and a movie screening of Back to the Future.
On Friday we took a dive in the Georgia Aquarium, allegedly the largest in the world:
We visited the World of Coca-cola, which is basically an interactive advertisement for Coca-cola and a reminder of how brilliant their marketing is. We tasted all 64 of their sodas. Kidding, kidding... we were on a complete sugar high after 5 sips.
We declared the cherry cola to be gross. Unfortunately, every American I told this apparently loves cherry cola. Oops.
Then we headed for the CNN center (yes, this is still the same day... I'm a very efficient tourist) for a behind-the-scenes tour.
And at night we met some friend from the trivia team for live eighties music at Park Tavern.
On Saturday, we visited a temple of high culture, the Fox Theatre, and took a behind-the-scenes tour there (you may recall photos from my previous visit).
Then we had brunch at the amazing Flying Biscuit Cafe & spent the afternoon shopping helping the American economy in Marshalls & Lenox Square.
And then we had some southern food at Mary Mac's Tearoom for dinner.
Et voilà, a speedpost on our activities of the last two days!
These pics made me think fondly of my time in Atlanta. Loved them!
