Atlanta -- August, 2006

Well, it started as a simple solo trip for Jenn to see the works of the great artist Niki de Saint Phalle at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens and evolved into another excellent chapter in the Adventures of Tom and Jenn. Atlanta is a beautiful and interesting city brimming with kind and helpful people. We saw many great art works at the High Museum of Art, Museum of Contemporary Art, Museum of Design Art, a panda!, gorillas, lionstigersandbears at the Atlanta Zoo, old and new architecture everywhere, The Bodies Exhibition, the New Georgia Aquarium, and the Atlanta Astronomy Club. A special thanks to Aleko & Co. for the wonderfully comfortable hospitality.
