Motorcycle Diaries (USA): Day 15
A damp, cold day even a few light snow showers! Worst weather i've seen since I arrived in the USA. Although i'm sure things will get worse as I head further north. I've seen news and weather clips from Chicago (where i'm headed) and they're deep in snow drifts! Better get used to it I guess - not ideal for biking though.
I'm stopping in Atlanta today (so no map for this entry) and there's a couple of places I'm going to visit. Two of Atlantas claims to 'fame' and the first of those is the CNN News Studios. The studios run daily tours so I signed up, braved the usual 'jobsworth' security guards and joined the tour. Quite interesting to see the activity that goes on in the background to produce live news and weather programming. I passed on the opportunity to have my photo taken reading the news at the CNN news desk.
Next stop, the Auburn area of Atlanta. Birthplace, Home, Chapel and Gravesite of Dr Martin Luther King Jr. The visitors area within The King Center features old news and documentary footage, several exhibits and provides some powerful and emotionally packed lessons. MLK Jr was killed on the 4th April 1968 in Memphis - my next stop after Atlanta.
