Food-lanta, at least that's what it feels like...

I was glad for this trip to Atlanta where Diego could see what "my" life was all about before coming to Arizona. We went to my old work and met everyone and toured the place. I had a group of my friends meet us at my favorite barbecue place Swallow at the Hollow. That place is SOOO yummy. You must go there! It was good to see places that I recognize and people who know me as Shannon and not at Diego's wife...
The next day we went to Chow Baby for lunch and gorged ourselves. I love that place too. What do they call it, American Stir-Fry. They have this bar and you pile on whatever you like. Numerous noodles and rice, various vegetables, sundry sauces, mega meats, and several seasonings (ya like those alliterations, huh?) and then they cook it up for you and it's simple fabulous! Go there too. The we went to the only place Diego really wanted to see, The Coke Museum. This is one of the oldest delivery truck and it's from Argentina so of course we had to take a picture!
The tasting room at the end was where Diego really wanted to go. We tasted like 60 varieties of Coca-Cola products. Some more pleasing than others. And they give you a FREE bottle of Coke at the end too. Bottled Coke tastes so much better to me...
Sorry for the bad pictures. We went to see this amazing Bond Jovi cover band called Slippery When Wet. Actually it's the 3rd time I've seen them. They changed their set list quite a bit which took out my favorite song "Blood on Blood" but he looks and acts so much like the real thing that Diego was swearing up and down that he had a twin.
We went out to dinner with my brother and his wife. So the only one Diego hasn't met is my little sister. We didn't actually eat at this restaurant cause the wait staff was severely understaffed but it was here that I found out that my father had open heart surgery...
And I hesitate to post this pictures yet since the rightful owners haven't even seen them yet but it is the whole reason we came out to Atlanta in the first place. Karla and Taylor got married. YEAH!

Canada

So even though I've moved away from Atlanta I've still managed to find traveling work. This time I went to Montreal, Canada. This was my 1st trip to visit my northbound neighbors. Truthfully in the short time I was there I didn't spend much time in the daylight. I did, however, take a few hours one afternoon before sitting in the tradeshow and took a walk. I went to this little park/corner courtyard to see the Notre Dame Cathedral. Seriously, you couldn't get a picture smack in the middle if you wanted to. Somebody stuck a stupid light pole right there!
I went around the corner and picked up some food from this little French cafe and ate in the park. This is a close up of the statue/fountain. It was quite interesting.
On the walk to the convention center you go through Chinatown. Weird. I'm in French Canada and I am walking through the Asian District... I did catch a picture of a guy gluing posters. It seems so old tyme-y to me - like a streetsweeper or a chimney sweep. I mean, I know it happens all the time but you never see it. The posters are always just up there somehow. He's just a guy with a bucket of posters, a bucket of glue, a set of headphones and a brush. Well, I thought it was cool!
