One can not come to Atlanta without visiting the World of Coca Cola.  Downtown Atlanta is in the background here.

    
The tour at World of Coca Cola is mostly self guided, but there is a brief guided tour and video when one starts the tour.


At the end of the tour, one can taste Coca Cola products from all over the world.  I liked the drink from Zimbabwe the best.


This is a view of Centennial Olympic Park with downtown Atlanta in the background.  This park was built for the 1996 Olympic Games.


This is a sculpture at Centennial Olympic Park.


This historic church is where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a preacher.


Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was laid to rest here near his birth home in Atlanta.


This is where the Atlanta Falcons play.

    Savannah is a must see for history buffs who love old colonial style architecture as well as Civil War era monuments.  Forsythe Park is home to old willow trees, a cool fountain, and a Confederate Monument.  Walking around that area, one finds historic brick homes with gas lamps.  The downtown area features a vibrant night life and more historic buildings.  Be sure to get dinner at Lady & Sons, which is Paula Deen's signature restaurant.  River Street is along the Savannah River and has buildings from the colonial era.  A cruise on the Georgia Queen is a nice way to explore the banks of the Savannah River where one can find an old Confederate Fort.  To cool off from the humidity, one should go to Leopold's Ice Cream shop!
