Peachy day in the city

Sitting here at Panera again eating a cobblestone and figured I would update you on all thats going on. Everything is going great here in Atlanta. Having an absolute BLAST so far. Mom came up yesterday to visit and see the inhabited apartment and thought she was pretty impressed with what she saw, which is great. We went and grabbed some most delicious grub at the Varsity by GA Tech in downtown. After a couple chili burgers and onion rings, we headed over to Ikea to load up on some bedroom furniture so I could stop living out of suitcases. After struggles of screws and nails and even a broken toe, I got everything built and put in place and my room is a very comfortable living space now. My roommate Evan and I spent the duration of the night hanging our wide assortment of our NYC art all over the apartment, definitely making it feel just like home. It will be a great next 2 years. 

Today we ventured to Lenox mall to the check out the Apple store and some others. Then we headed back to the apt. and grabbed a Marta downtown. I have been doing a fair amount of filming and not too much picture taking, so as I said, stay tuned for the vid. We will also be getting internet and cable friday morning so the long wait will be fine and maybe limit our trips to Panera. We hit up Underground Atlanta, Olympic Park, and found ourselves walking aimlessly for a while around the downtown area, looking like we knew what we were doing. We also made a pitstop at the Westin, the huge round building with the glass elevator on the outside. Granted the elevator was boarded up for repairs after the tornado struck it last year, but the top was a great view of our new home!

We plan to hit the coke museum later this week and perhaps take a ride out to Stone Mtn. I should be quite skinny with rock hard calf muscles by Christmas from the amazing amount of walking we have been doing. Welcome to city life. Anyways, more to come soon.
