Hi All
As promised its Dan here. We have now arrived in Atlanta, and found a far nicer hostel than the one we found in Savannah. (it actually is hostel, and has a stove and a kettle!).
Atlanta itself is pretty much your typical big city. Hopefully there will be enough to do to keep us entertained, but there isn't much I can say about it.
We visited the Georgia Aquarium today, which was pretty spectacular, featuring Beluga Whales and Whale Sharks, as well as several other species. Oh and apparently Beth will be pleased to know we saw penguins there. Unfortunately, Chris lost the soft toy penguin he brought.
And well that's about it really. Oh, we keep getting phone calls on our mobile, and we aren't to sure who it is as we cannot answer the calls due to lack of airtime. So if its anyone reading this email us the info as we cannot receive it via our phone.
Dan.

Might be my bro, but it shouldnt be, he'll email if it is him though. Chris is very silly, losing penguins. Glad its fun though
Hi
The mobile calls were us - not important - please ignore.
Some thoughts on Atlanta (based on 20 years ago!)
The liveliest areas were Little Five Points and Virginia Highlands - although it might be hard to enjoy them with no money. Do drop in on Horizon Theatre where Mum worked for a bit. Also I would really like to know if Manuel's Tavern still exists (I did 14 performances of 12th Night there).
Do go the Martin Luther King centre (Dan - you have been already when we visited about 7 years ago - but worth another visit).
If you can get out there (there are buses - MARTA) Stone Mountain is very famous and quite interesting. There is another similar mountain in the South of Atlanta which is much less commercialised and very interesting (although a very hot hike). I wish I could remember its name.
If you walk in some of the State parks you will probably meet some interesting wildlife - we saw snakes, turtles, chipmunks by the thousand etc.
Really looking forward to hearing more
Dad
Mark's comment makes me wish I was with you! Seems as though there's lots of sight seeing to do. Take care, mind the snakes - and Chris - you now have to buy another penguin! xxx
