Atlanta, GA - day 1

We spent two days in the city of Atlanta. The first day we went to the World of Coca-Cola, an interactive museum on everything you wanted to know about Coca-Cola which was started in Atlanta. We got to sample come coke products from around the world. Some of them were very different from what we are used to. The Coca-Cola world is next to Olympic Park, a large green space that was a gathering place for the Olympics of 1996. This space is beautiful and well maintained. Next we got lunch at Ted's Montana Grill (owned by Ted Turner). Jeff had a bison burger and claims it was the best burger he has ever eaten. We then walked to the state capital. This is more in the center of town and there were many more homeless people in this area . The capital was simple and had some of the state's history on display. We walked back past an area called the underground. At one time this was a hopping place with multiple floors of entertainment space. Now it is mostly boarded up. Back at Olympic Park we enjoyed a cup of coffee while watching a water show and then took a ride on the large ferris wheel overlooking the city. Czytaj więcej
