athens georgia

dorothy recruited me to drive down to georgia with her to go apartment hunting. she got a job in a lab at uga and didnt want to blindly choose a place...so of course i came along for the ride. chicago, indianapolis, louisville, nashville, chatanooga, atlanta, and 14 hours later we're in athens, georgia. we stayed with a sweet gal named gayle through couchsurfing...great host and tourguide, showed us the ins and outs, secret spots and good food. overall a great trip, lots of sweating, not too much eating (too hot!), learning about new kinds of magnolias, cockroaches, "townies", and $3.85-$4.35/gallon gas. a few photos are coming, but here's a taste of the local flora...the magnolia grandiflora juxtaposed with the "normal" magnolia
