Day 14: Atlanta GA
Welcome
Yesterday we played a show at The Masquerade, in Atlanta, Georgia.
I woke up to the hum of the generator and the gentle trickle of the Pryor Street Waterfall. Upon venturing outside the bus I immediately felt the change in temperature from our 600km Eastward journey. Overnight we had crossed into Eastern Standard Time, our fourth timezone of the tour.
Liz and I went for a walk to secure breakfast and ended up at Reuben’s Deli on Broad Street NW. I ordered a Reuben. Along the way we passed the famous Walgreens Coca-Cola sign on Edgewood Avenue.

After breakfast I went for a jog around some of Atlanta’s famous landmarks. I started at the Capitol building and then jogged through Centennial Olympic Park on the way to the CNN building.

To get to our show we had to travel through a long series of underground tunnels and sadly there was a casualty along the way.
The highlight of the night was a visit by the promoter’s dog Milo.
