Oo la la!

Friday: The Last full day Off to SHOP! There is a wedding coming soon I need to be ready! I was not willing to take the MARTA, I was willing to walk…but I learned of yet another great means of public transportation. http://www.bucride.com/ The signs that read THE BUC STOPS HERE struck my Punny side. Probably a good thing I chose this means of transport, as I had changed purses, and managed to take my GAS card instead of the card I really needed. SO several trips to http://www.simon.com/mall/default.aspx?ID=210 Dinner was going to be an experience. I had wanted to go to http://emerils.com/ but waited to late in the day to book. Back to the drawing board, and Oo la la! http://aupieddecochonatlanta.com/ We have, since we were a couple starting in 1971, saved corks and even wine bottles for those occasions that stood out. We still have the wine bottle we took on our Honeymoon; it has a metal hanger over it that supports six small tapers. A new bottle of a most tasty 2003 Pinot Noir http://www.firesteed.com/wines/index.htm The food I chose took me back to Paris the moment I tasted it, OH WOW do I like Escargots de Bourgogne! Then for the main meal Three Duck Salad; smoked duck, Foie Gras, Walnuts, Duck Confit and PÂTÉ DE CAMPAGNE. http://www.gumbopages.com/food/french/pate-campagne.html Yes I even did dessert, no more until the WEDDING!

Swimming upstream?

OR MARTA HELP! Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority Wednesday: The first full day. We went on a LONG trek to locate the Georgia Aquarium. The TREK back was longer but a good thing as we ate really WELL! So a 4-mile walk was good. http://georgiaaquarium.org/ The almost 2 hours there was NOT enough time. One of the most amazing displays I saw was some Leafy Sea Dragons. http://www.divegallery.com/Leafy_Sea_Dragon.htm http://ruthschris.com/ We have seen this restaurant many times when we visited our daughter’s and soon to be son in law in DC. There are so many good places and restaurants to check out no matter the city. This one for sure was a great experience.
