I went to Georgia

For the Masters Nationals swim meet.

It was at Georgia Tech University.

There were 11 of us form the Western swim team.

And Brian came down from Virginia to swim.

He stayed with us at a place that really must have been in the top 9 seediest motels in Atlanta.

Tiny, dingy beds; smelled of mold and cigarettes; light shining out of the bathtub drain.

But we are better people for it.

The swim meet was fun.

I met a few good people.

Exchanged a few words with Cullen Jones.

Got to swim in the 1996 Olympic pool.

We enjoyed Atlanta out side of the pool thought as well.

It was pretty hot an muggy the whole time we were there, but it was nice to be in the warm weather.

Mostly we just ate at a bunch of different places.

We tried to avoid any place that we could find in Washington

On Monday, before our plane left, we went to the Atlanta Aquarium.

It is said to be the worlds largest aquarium.

While it was a little disappointing for its title, it was still a very nice aquarium.

I saw fish.

The tip was a success.

We were all happy to be back in Seattle, though, breathing cool, non-liquid air.
