Skills indeed! Next stop Athens GA! Saturday found me on the road to Athens, an hour east of Atlanta (I know its the wrong way from Seattle ("I expected the rocky mountains to be a little rockier than this"- name that movie quote)) One of my goals is to see a bit of the south that I have been too busy to explore. So I'll be weaving a bit. Ok, so who's the hottie? I spent some time killing Pabsts (had a big conversation on how to pronounce that word!) with Ashley, an undergraduate at the university of Georgia here in Athens. The town is pretty heavily focused on the University- there are statues of Bulldogs scattered all over. Gets a little annoying. The town reminds me of Bellingham, in its size, focus on university, and art/ music scene. There's a crapload of live music every night of the week. I went to the famous 40 Watt for a concert Saturday night, but after my (not so) fun run and swilling Pabsts all afternoon, I inadvisedly sat on a couch at the concert and slept right through most of the show.
