| The Georgia Aquarium. They say it is the largest in the world but that does not seem to be true after all (I wonder why here in the US they can not avoid making such statements, whether they are true or not?). | ||||||||
| Downtown Atlanta seen from the Westin tower. There does not seem to be much left of old, I guess because of the fires during the Civil War (I learned that from the Gone with the Wind movie :-)). Futurama's episode 2.12 (The Deep South) makes fun of Atlanta's aspirations as a tourist destination despite the fact that there is not much tourist-worthy beside the big international airport turned into a major hub by Delta Airlines. | ||||||||
