Adventures in Atlanta

The time here has been simply wonderful! There’s no remodeling to be done, no chaos in my kitchen and living room, and nothing at all that has to be done… not even blogging. It’s divine.

I have spent my days relaxing, walking, shopping, yoga-ing, and eating! Atlanta is awesome! There’s stuff to do and places to go and everything! And stores! Real stores! And the yoga instruction is great – I’m trying to absorb as much as I physically can!

Some highlights:

Ethiopian food on New Year’s Eve. It was yummy! Eating with one’s hands is really fun! The owner was so nice and gave me extra of the side dish I adored!

Shopping at real stores, and touching the fabric, not opening internet windows!

Eating at Nava and this WOW-beyond-words dessert. That cube is filled with chocolate mousse.

Eating at the Flying Biscuit. Atlanta does breakfast REALLY well! I mean, it’s amazing! This is my favorite breakfast place, but Chicken and Waffles is pretty good too… and Thumbs Up… and every other breakfast we’ve tried!

This amazing yarn store in Virginia Highlands! Everyone who came in was showing off what they’d made, or sitting at tables knitting and talking. It was delightful! I made a return trip just because it was such a fun place!

Aerial Yoga, done from hammocks hung from the ceiling. It didn’t seem difficult at first, but my muscles were DEFINITELY sore the next day!

Here’s some photos of fun things I saw while out. Enjoy.

Yes, those dogs are all wearing sunglasses and matching sweaters. And yes, they match the dog-walker as well.

Did you know this is how brussels sprouts grow?

The very nifty yarn ball winder at the fun yarn store – Knitch.
