Days Inn Athens Ga

... I got as much stuff as I could fit in the car and got out of there as quick as possible.

I then thought that I might as well stock up on a few snacks while I was in the mood for shopping. I went to a supermarket and started filling my trolley. It's funny how the cost adds up when you wander round those places. It didn't seem to worry me though and the bill became pretty steep, pretty quick.

All in all, it was a really ...

Arrived on Friday (Sept,11th) evening and set ourselves up in a shady, stream side site in Hard Labor Creek State Park. The name comes from the Indians many years ago saying it was hard labor to cross the river (creek). We found no 'hard labor' in any of our stay. The Town is charming with great historic value and flare. The State Park is large and the campground is huge. RV sites, tents, great fully furnished cabins, and an ...

I wanted to spend more time in Athens, but because of all the problems going on, plans kind of got extremely disorganized and we went to Athens on a whim.

We basically ended up in a bar and grabbed dinner at The Grit (famous for vegetarian cuisine), while briefly cruising around town.

I felt sad and sentimental that I didn't get to tour it more, but then again I felt relief; I have another university to call my own, for I am also a NYU graduate. ;)

... sucks. I actually have an interview with the Sylvan in Athens on Monday, so wish me luck! And my first graduate class is on Monday, so it should be an exciting day. Hopefully I won't be the only twenty-something in the room. ha ha.

Love,
Ash

Whew!

Picked up car from Atlanta airport on 15th April and drove around the outskirts of Atlanta during rush hour. It took about an hour to get to Athens. We explored the town, after Julie had her one and only driving on the wrong side of the road experience of the trip! Locals were laughing!

We went to a Belgian restaurant for soup and beer in the Athens downtown that looked like it hadn't changed much since the 1950s.


On the 16th April we visited the ...

Leaving tomorrow!!!!! I've packed just about everything. Not the kitchen sink, but enough to wash up without it. Did you know REI actually SELLS a camping kitchen sink?? It, like everything in that store, is collapse-able and stuffs into itself. Why go camping if you're going to have to do dishes there, too?? I'm bringing lots of food with me, at least for the first few days. In case i dont get the courage to venture into the ...

... is a bird without wings. ~ Moslih Eddin Saadi Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen. ~Benjamin Disraeli Well, with that, I should go to bed now. The 1985 classic, 'Weird Science' is playing on USA and i don't want to get sucked in ;) That and Scuba is prancing around like he needs to go outside. ~Until next time...

-- compras globalizadas fui comprar roupas de frio para me preparar para minha ida para o inverno ingles. Tenho que admitir que, apesar de ser contra muitas coisas relacionadas ao walmart, minha vida de desempregado nao me deixou muita opcao se nao ir atras do "menor preco" e comprar nas portas do "mercado globalizado". Casacos do Camboja, luvas da China, camisas da guatemala, meias de Honduras, gorro da Indonesia ...
