I was sent to Atlanta for 2 weeks in October 2007 for work. Most of my time was spent in a hotel room staring at computer screens, but the few times I was able to get out went pretty well. I visited the Aquarium, and saw the Dalai Lama give a speech in the Olympic park! That was sweet, but for the rest of it, Atlanta is pretty damn dull. For a fuller account of my run-in with His Holiness, please go here.

Dragon fish thingies at the Atlanta aquarium. I forget what they're called exactly, but it's dragon-something. Related to seahorses. Pretty neat lookin'.

Dalai Lama Show 00
The fundies had to get their word in, of course. They're just outside the entrance to the park, protesting the Dalai Lama.

Some wanna-be Tibetans. Or maybe they really are... what do I know?
