The dynamic sofubi duo of
Splurrt's Diggler and
MVH's Doji-san joined us as we wrapped up our travels in the South. After leaving Knoxville, we made a beeline for Charleston, South Carolina, which involved a beautiful drive over the Blue Ridge mountains and a straight shot across South Carolina all the way to the East coast.
First up, some snaps from Charleston:
|
This cannon was on a ship that fired on Fort Sumter (which is visible from the shore) at the start of the Civil War. Long after the battle, the cannon was salvaged from the ocean. |
|
At the Carter Museum, in the Oval Office. Nice place, though the Clinton library (in Little Rock, Arkansas) is more snazzy. |
|
Carter received 3 medals when he won the Nobel Prize. Here are two of them. |
More after the jump:
Atlanta:
|
Olympic Centennial Park
|
|
With the inventor of Coca-Cola. The World of Coca-Cola is a fun place to visit if you ever find yourself in Atlanta. |
|
Have a Splurrt and a smile. |
|
Looks like the Olympic torch! |

The CNN center is less interesting. Very restricted tour, and no Wolf or Anderson spottings. There was a lifesize cardboard cutout of Larry King, but it was creepy. Oh and I set down my bag of World of Coke goodies, and it disappeared. :p |
Well, that's all for our sofubi tour of the South. In fact, we just arrived in Tokyo a few minutes ago. Back in sofubi central!
Alright! I just caught up with
ReplyDeleteyour posts and saw that you had
a good time here in the South.
The Diggler and Doji-san photos
are a hoot! :D
Glad you had a safe trip back
to Japan.
Thanks! It was a fun series to put together, but a real whirlwind of a trip (1500 miles in 9 days). Now I'm paying Class A interest on the dividends from some Grade A jet lag.
