Well today dawned much friendlier that yesterday. Still cold and windy but I was brave enough to venture out for a bit. I cruised around Centennial Olympic Park and had a chat to Old Mate Pierre here.Then the wind got the better of me and I sought the shelter of the nearby Acquarium. It is fairly new and very big with a beluga whale exhibit and an Open Ocean tank with, among thousands of other fish and rays, 4 whale sharks. There was also a Tropical section with mostly Indo-Pacific reef critters and a Rivers section with alligators, pirhanas, Amazon snakes and frogs, and bottom-feeding fish which you view from underneath - a nifty angle. As acquariums go it was rather good and not at all crowded.
After New Orleans, Atlanta seems a very organised city and while there's not much touristy stuff here, it's nice to see clean streets and complete buildings around the place.
