atlanta, day 2 (thumbnail heavy)

well after walking a couple of miles yesterday, we woke up a bit tired and sore.  we went downstairs and the hotel offers a hot breakfast.  they have this cool make your own waffle setup along with the normal breakfast buffet stuffs.

we walked up luckie street and passed the tabernacle.  this is where we are seeing jeff tweedy tomorrow.

we walked across centennial park to the Georgia aquarium. The aquarium was nice,  we got there right at 10am when it opened.  it was busy, but not nearly as busy as when we left.
i took so many pictures of sea life.

we took the tourist loop bus to midtown and tried to eat at the flying biscuit, but we waited outside in the wind for about 30 minutes and left.  i was frustrated and hungry and we were still 7 people down on the list.  apparently some people left and got skipped and came back, so they were being sat first.  this irritated me, you leave you lose is my philosophy.
we walked back to the train and stopped at five points and walked through the underground to the world of coke.  i found this play poster and wonderful store.

debbie does dallas the musical?  i'm curious how that goes, i would think it would be hard to sing while...

the world of coke was a nice little nostalgic walk through advertising.  do not ever under any circumstances try the beverly.  it is the worst taste ever.  what are the italians thinking.  i find it instantly bitter, I can't even think of a comparable chemical taste.  I'm really curious about italy now, trying to figure out how this fits into their menu.

and finally we went to the varsity.  a classic greasy diner.
