Way down South in Atlanta, Georgia


We are enjoying our time in Atlanta, Georgia
Although... it has been quite wet, raining almost everyday...
I am sure to get lots of sympathy from my Canadian friends & family ;)

Our apartment is a small studio, but it is cute & 
has everything we need!

Our new apartment
The sitting area
Plus we are very pleased with our neighbourhood, 
lots of parks & shopping within walking distance.

As far as exploring Atlanta, 
we've been taking advantage of our time here and 
doing all the 'touristy' things Atlanta has to offer.

Including the Georgia Aquarium:


They claim this is the largest aquarium in the world. 
It was really cool to see all the fish... 
reminded us of our time diving in the caribbean 
Whale sharks
As usual 
with any captivated animals
I felt an immense ethical dilemma about attending the aquarium
But that is a debate for another time & place...
Dragonfish
We also visited the World of Coca-cola
because, well,  Coca-cola was invented in Atlanta.

Sharing a Coke with the inventor Mr. Pemberton 

The best part of the tour was definitely the tasting room, 
where you had the opportunity to sample 
all the different Coke products from around the world.

  
Nathan tasting what Coke Latin America has to offer!
We also toured CNN World Headquarters.
The building was quite impressive & 
provided an interesting look into professions which differs
 so very much from our interests.


In addition we also visited museums.
Thanks to my brother Chris & his better half Avery 
who gave us the tickets & inspiration
 to see Atlanta's tourist highlights.

We are looking forward to exploring more of what Atlanta has to offer!
