Last Moments In Atlanta

I had a blast this weekend and now I am in recovery mode. Friday night I met up with a customer and another vendor at this restaurant called Pure. It is the most amazing Mexican restaurant I have ever eaten at in terms of variety of food. I feel like I need a drum roll to tell you what I actually ate because when I think about it, it actually makes me want to throw up. I ate mussels. Now the reason this makes me think I am out of my mind is the fact that when I was in Australia, our tour guide was eating raw mussels on the beach and it was probably one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen before. I survived my experience on Friday and I actually ate about a quarter of a bowl of them. This customer that I was out with is actually the one that asked his friends about the hiking trails. He brought me all these maps and he said he has been wanting to go hiking for awhile so I invited him to go along with me. We ended up hiking two different trails with some of the most amazing waterfalls. Total trail distance was 7.2 miles, which was a great workout! Afterwards we went to this little German town called Helen. Now I get to tell you about the second exciting thing I ate this weekend...sauerkraut. I had a bratwurst with sauerkraut. Yum yum yum. I loved it. I also learned about this hippie festival that takes place down in Florida every October. I am going to rock it out this October. My customer's friend goes every year so he told me all about it and it sounds like a blast.
I didn't make it to the mall today, as I have some work that needs to get done and I was more or less just feeling lazy. I will have to make that happen next time I am in Atlanta. This week is chalk full of work stuff...including a fishing trip...and then I am moving again next Sunday. I can hardly believe my time here is just about over and I am on to the next place. Over the course of the next 4-5 weeks I will be visiting 4 different states for extended periods and then I will be going to Florida for 6 weeks. I already know Florida is going to be crazy wild between working a trade show, having friends visit, visiting friends who live down there, a wine and food festival and now a hippie festival. Before I know it, November will be here and my car won't look so inviting and I will be looking for a place to call home...or maybe I will have two homes...you just never know.
