Tornado Damage & International Travelers Return Home

We toured the downtown area shortly after the tornado. Some streets were still blocked off due to broken glass hanging from windows far above the street.
























































Spring has also hit Georgia and every day there is something new coming into bloom. Cherry trees, tulips, pansies, and explosions of paper white dogwood flowers.
Sunny skies one day and warm thunderstorms the next. I am loving the weather. On warm weekdays, people fill up the park as if it were a weekend. It doesn't get cold when it gets dark rather the temperature maintains well into the night.

Rob spent the last week in March in Belize visiting his brother Scott who left city life behind in Seattle and broke for tropical paradise for the foreseeable future.
Rob left without confirmation that Scott knew he was coming to see him and through the help of some island locals he was guided to Scott's house after a day full of travel and the two brothers enjoyed a week together.
Rob sent home regular photo updates of things like trained baby raccoons, drunk Brits and typical island life. Click here to view his albums on Picasa.
He did come home with some exotic treats such as beer and a cookbook filled with Belizian recipes (lucky me, I got an authentic dinner).
I missed him very much and started my new job while he was gone.













Adi and Pete were also gone at this time. Their destination was Argentina for 10 days.
Check Adi's blog for that recap - coming soon.

Yep, I was pretty much jealous of all of them as I descended into the subway system to make my commute to Buckhead every day. Never underestimate the power of souvenirs people.
