Georgia on our mind :]

There wasn't much we were interested in doing in Atlanta, just so happened the day we got there was the SEC championship football game, Gamecocks v. Tigers, it was ridiculous downtown! The traffic was horrendous, and the streets beyond the dome were vacant. There were some crazy looking tailgate parties that we probably should have gotten in on, but we know nothing about college football. We hung out all day, just doing stuff to kill time until the drive-in movie theater opened!


M: Ohh man! I was so excited about the drive in! Harry Potter & Due Date, it was going to be awesome! But the day was just dragging on...and there wasn't a whole lot that we could find to do in Atlanta. We were experiencing city burn out, all the city's are sort of becoming the same, shopping, food, spending money...we're getting to the point where we need to get a schtick (bubbles come to mind) and start performing on street corners for hand outs...we don't really have money to blow gallivanting around cities. Anyways, I was bored and excited for the movies, so I sort of took us to the drive-in two hours before the movies actually started....

A: There I was all warm and comfortable in the Barnes and Noble reading books and magazines I had no intention to buy and Marisa says "lets go!" who am I to stomp on her excitement and look at my watch? I just figured it was close to time... Two hours early! we show up and even the guy that works there looks at us funny. We decided it was too far to go back to the book store but the grocery store was close so we looked for entertainment there.

M: Man, I was totally thinking we could tail gate--make dinner at the drive-in! But, it was sort of misting outside and it was cold...luckily it cleared up when we were in the grocery store. Wasted an hour at the market and then we headed to the drive-in! Man, I still can't believe they closed the drive-in in Bakersfield! People LOVE the drive in! $7 double feature, bring your own snacks, sit in the comfort of your own vehicle, what could be better?!

A: By snacks she means a bag of fritos, bean dip, salsa, pickles, chocolate and a bottle of wine for dinner. When we got back to the drive-in it was a little closer to movie time and other people were there.

After the drive-in, we headed to our city camping place of choice; Walmart and on to Savannah the following day.

We've never been in a city with as much character as Savannah. The architecture, the squares and parks, the old oaks dripping with spanish moss, such a charming place to visit. We got out our bikes, but probably should have just walked, to see the squares. We rode for two blocks at a time, square to square and ended up at the water front where we sampled some free candy and made a pit stop before we headed back to the truck.

Albert was being all bossy before he headed into the restroom. I was pretty irritated, until I looked down at my phone and saw a series of text messages:

"Ok, I guess it's always this way for ladies, but I just sat down on a very warm toilet seat and thought, 'ooh, someone was just here,' then I thought...'thanks, my butt was colder than I thought..."

and then a minute later:

"Holy shit! The toilet just flushed unexpectedly while I was sitting on it! I just about hit the ceiling. That's scary shit! I would have handled and earth quake better."

Sometimes it takes some shit to loosen people up. We biked back to the truck, well, we almost biked back to the truck. We passed a pub on the way, pulled over a block later--great minds think alike and a look was all it took. Within five minutes we were at a local dive, enjoying a tall boy in the company of a pit bull named Chainsaw, a bartender that was terrible with money and dozens of signed portraits of politicians on the walls. Cash cab was on the small screen and we relaxed in a warm smoky bar after a cold day wandering Savannah.
