Atlanta

24.05.2007 - 25.05.2007

After a night in LA and a 3 hour flight we arrived in Atlanta. Our plane was a little delayed and we ended up getting out of the airport at about 8:30 at night. The thing about Atlanta though is that they have day light saving and it doesn't get dark till about 9pm, so basically when we landed it was as if it was the afternoon. Not so great for our jet lag!

Mark and Jason (people from camp) picked us up and took us out for dinner at a place called TFI Friday's. It was really nice. Camp put us up in a really nice hotel for the night and it was in a nice safe area (a change from LA!)

Brian and I both had long hot showers which was nice but we found out the next day that Atlanta also has water restrictions. Whoops!

The next day we did some sight seeing and went into the city of Atlanta to see Centennial Park plus did a tour of CNN (which camp all paid for). We haven't yet had a chance to go to Six Flags, The Coca-Cola factory or the aquarium yet but hopefully we will be able to go to these on our weekends off.

Atlanta is actually a pretty nice city but apparently at night time that changes. It's nice to see some green grass and lots of trees in the city though.

We only got to stay in Atlanta one night as for some reason their plans changed and we got to camp early. On the way though we ate dinner at a place called Buffalo's which has really yummy food. There we met Daniel (another guy from camp) and we drove to Clayton from there.
