Where I stayed

Courtyard by Marriott Atlanta Buckhead

Yes. I am at it again. Travelling is in my blood. I am back in Atlanta again. The last time I was here was about 1 month ago for a dragon boat festival. But the time before last, one of my readers was lashing out at me for not visiting Peachtree corner or mentioning Georgia Tech - so here I am to behold the typical Atlanta visitor experience.

I am heading to Buckhead - sure enough there is a Peachtree lane. After settling at my hotel, I am ready for some food. I ask the hotel's driver - 'Where do you go to eat?' But this is the tourist corner, it is sooooo typical - he points me to Dantanna's (tourist joint for sure) - nearby and still open for food. It has a 'Late Night Menu' - the crab cake is good, calamari is forgettable, spinach salad with stale shrimps is bad and the swordfish is okay. What do I really expect at this time of the night - Friday night - in a fine establishment like this - maybe just simply 'good food'... Is it too much to ask for?

Temperature has dropped at least 10 degrees since last time I visited Atlanta. As I am walking back to my hotel I am wondering what this part of the city - the concrete jungle - has to offer. Things will be revealed when the sun is up tomorrow.

Hotlanta - here I am again....
