Chi Refugee Camp

Kicked around Atlanta yesterday. Went to the coke museum - Atlanta is the home of coke - it was kinda depressing, felt like they were trying to brain wash you (every bottle of coke is full of love, happiness and joy or some such drivel). However you could do a study on the history of marketing there because they had coke signage, packaging etc for the last 120 years.


Also toured the hotels around where we were staying with Ann Morrision, a Kiwi who has been working in Finland. They are quite spectacular - above is the inside of the Marriott from the 45th floor. Spent too much time looking at airport reports and wondering what to do - go home or stay, when is it going to end? I have a booking for Thursday - who knows if it is going to happen. In the end decided to stay and reassess if nothing has changed by Thursday.

Anyway Ann, Steve Brewster from Glasgow and I have joined up rented a 'cabin 'in the blue ridge mountains, hired a car and headed out of town. It is wonderfully peaceful, not another house in sight, although there are many tucked into the trees. Clink the link on cabin to see - yes it really does look like that, but better cause the leaves are just out and brilliant green. We have heaps of room, and it is fantastically set up - and cheaper per night than one hotel room in Atlanta. It has internet so we plan to just hang and work.
