Things have gone well so far, now that I'm officially on this trip. I'm currently sitting at my gate at the ATL airport, with an hour and half until my flight leaves. They have free wifi here, so I thought I would take advantage of that. My 3 days in Tifton were uneventful. I got a couple of school assignments taken care of, so that's less I'll need to do abroad. I managed to check out a couple of new places to visit while in England, so that excites me. And I found a better deal on hotels in Ireland, so I jumped on that, too. On the family side, I got to chill a good bit. Ran errands with dad around town on Tuesday and then trivia with the bro and friends that night. Went ... read more

Tokrat je tema bolj čudna ali pa zanimiva, kakor vzamete. Oakland Cemetery je največje pokopališče v Atlanti, in kaj pol, a ne?! Nič posebnega, zelo veliko pokopališče, da rabiš zemljevid, tam pa jasno, pokopani vojaki, slavni, manj slavni, neslavni in kdorkoli pač živi tam. V nedeljo me je cimra povabila na pijačo na to pokopališče, ker bo tam tematska zabava, piknik, glasba v živo in tako naprej. Čakaj malo, na 'britof' nej grem, spijem pivo in se pogovarjam o vremenu??? In sem šla seveda, s kolesom, toplo in sončno nedeljsko popoldne. Tam pa, kot je rekla Lisa, veliko ljudi, veliko kostumov in veliko grobov. Imajo zelo zanimivo idejo oživljanja pokopališč, kot del mesta in del življenja. Organizirajo veliko vodenih obiskov, pa ne samo o zgodovini in o slavnih pokopanih tam, ampak Halloween obiski, pripovedovanje zgodb, ekološki ... read more

Pristanek v Atlanto je bil prijeten, vroč in sploh ne kompliciran. Niti viza, niti moji papirji za delo tukaj, nič ni zmotilo vseh teh varnostnikov, samo lepo so me pozdravljali in nasvidenje. Verjetno bo to mega ameriška izkušnja, ker delam z Američani, živim z Američani, jem po ameriško, ampak napitnine pa nečem dat po Ameriško...matr to je ful keša ha. O zgodovini Atlante ne vem veliko. Lahko pa povem, da je super zelena, parkov več kot hiš in več kot zelenja je samo še avtov. Gradijo še Belt Line park okoli mesta, za kolesarjenje, tek, sprehode, res super zadeva. Ha, tukaj brez avta, je skoraj kot bi bil bos in kar je najbolj čudno, skoraj ni pešcev. Metro ima samo 3 linije za 6 milijonsko mesto, vse ostalo, v avto in gasa. Avtobusi so, vsaj avtobusnih ... read more
