besides line dancing, climbing on waterfalls, playing in olympic fountains, snorkelling in the wild, diving for keys and lingering along lonely beaches i got to see somewhat exotic animals:


owls, bats, manatees, black bears, hermit crabs, butterflies, wild pigs, baby clams [and a humming bird right after our returning].

we had fun!

2008/08/11 in the olympic city

after entering the 6 lane interstate..


..and enjoying the sunset in the car this time,


..we entered the suburbs of atlanta.


we started the sightseeing at margaret mitchell house, where 'gone with the wind' was written.


then we rode further downtown, passing by georgia tech, where matt had spent a year of studying back in the days.


around the centennial olympic park in the center of the city we learned, how the cnn news evolve..



and what the most secret ingredient of coke could be [it's "you", by the way..].

chillin' in the park..

..and playing in the olympic fountain we enjoyed the most, tho.

we had a great day in this huge city.
