Athens

I went to Athens for two days this week and had a great time - there really is no place like it especially when you get to hang out with Rachel, Britt, BO, Aqsa, and Alicia. On Monday, we got pizza at Mellow Mushroom while watching Tiger beat Rocco for the US Open title. We also had a ball watching Kung Fu Panda - Jack Black is hilarious and there are some classic lines in the movie! We ended the day with Orientation Live (the show the orientation leaders put on for incoming freshmen) and sat downtown with food from Five Guys. On Tuesday I took a tour of where Brittany works and yes she is big time with the corner office. We then went to IHOP to redress pancake wrongs that had been committed against Rachel in the past (they had actually denied her pancakes on a previous visit). We went to Doc Chey's for dinner before going to the Melting Point for a bluegrass show. The Melting Point is such an awesome place - it defines Athens for me - it is so chill with music playing as you sit outside on this lighted brick patio and hang out with friends. To finish off the night, we bought a tub of ice cream from Kroger, got some sporks from Taco Bell (where else), and ate/hung out on Herty Field till one in the morning... man, can't think of a better way to spend two days.
