World of Coca-Cola

Day two in Atlanta, and it was off to The Vortex for lunch and the World of Coke.
First of all, let me say that The Vortex, which is apparently featured on many travel channel food specials, is a biker-style bar that has menu items such as the "Double Coronary Bypass." This particular burger has two burger patties, separated by two grilled-cheese sandwiches (which act as buns)...it also includes a couple of fried eggs, 5 slices of American cheese and 5 slices of bacon. I can't even imagine.

I had a burger with mushrooms. And fried zucchini. Mmmm....

We kept driving further into town, parked the car and made our way through the Centennial Olympic Park. 

I really enjoyed walking through and seeing the fountains. There is apparently a drought here so they only had the big Olympic-ring-shaped fountain in working order - but they still had the "fountain show" on...meaning that loud, inspiring Olympic-style music played while the water danced...it was very fun. 

After that, it was off to the World of Coca-Cola - where we learned all about the history of Coke, watched commercials from all around the world and saw a 4-D film about it.





Ooooh....Coca-Cola harp!

The torch from the Atlanta Games....

My favorite part, however, was the part they saved for last - the tasting room.


It was just full of soda fountains with different Coca-Cola products from around the world - it was amazing!

I'll be back on stage tomorrow...until then!
