ATL 09: Back Again



I had been looking forward to my second time in Atlanta this year for month - and then I was back and it felt like I had never been away. It was fairly cold during my whole visit but I managed to do a little cycle tour on Sunday to the Piedmont Park area. John lent me his bike - which is probably one of the best I have ever ridden - even cycling back up Glen Iris did not seem like too much hard work. Close to my former home I took this photo of the Atlanta skyline.



Along my old cycle way to Reynoldstown on Krogstreet...



Unfortunately I had to work during most of my stay and stayed in Midtown for a little while. As suspected it was not very homely - especially with constant rainstorms taking place at night. That is the view out of my hotel room.



Back in Reynoldstown on the weekend, Jen, John and I went for coffee to the dogpark coffeehouse down the road where we watched the dogs running wild in the freezing cold.



Saturday was A*** Santa day at Criminal Records. Being European I was too shy to sit on Santa´s lap and get my picture taken - however John, as you did not have any similar inhibitions - please feel free to add your picture to the blog! In the meantime I bought several records which I have been listening to the whole week - I have not yet decided which is my favorite because they are all great but Curtis Mayfield and Johnny Cash have to be among the top three.



Sunday was a depressing day - I had to go home. Here we are at dunch at the Earl - I ate so much that it lasted until the next day when I had already arrived back in London.

Very nice post Aruna! I like the photos from your bike ride...it looks so sunny and nice, little did we know how much rain was coming after that.
