Yeah it's all we've been given so you better start living right now

Mileage: Would've been less had marta been cool. Best rando: Sweet modern/hipster coffee shop that was also a bar.

I'm pretty sure the city is called Hotlanta because of days like the ones I spent there.

When I arrived early Monday evening it was still sweltering from the day and it didn't cool off until got major storms Saturday night. Initially I was overwhelmed by the size of the city, but after meeting the lovely Megan for lunch and experiencing her wonderful knowledge I really did come to believe that it's just a bunch of little neighborhoods smushed together.

And so I ended up having a pretty good time. Some highlights include food truck barbecue, getting locked in the pool and spending time with my two gracious hosts, Pete and Ariel. And after a couple tries I got my hands on some real local Georgia peaches.

Probably one of the strangest things that has happened so far on the trip is my ears have been in semi-clogged state since Nashville. Dunno what that's about but I'm trying not to worry about it.

Anyway with so much to see, I feel like I just grazed the surface of what there is to do in Atlanta so I'll need to be coming back.
