Well, we’re in Atlanta. I’d say “safely”, but Atlanta is currently under a severe thunderstorm watch. Luckily, we got into the hotel before the rain started, unlike in New Orleans.
Perhaps I should start at the beginning, which was this morning in New Orleans. We had coffee/tea at PJs near Tulane, and then hit the road. We went out I-10 across eastern Louisiana and coastal Mississippi, turning N when we hit Mobile. We went up I-65, and saw my first indications that Cleartype had invaded Alabama. I do like how Alabama signs overpasses: with the name of the road on the overpass and the milage (with an interstate logo) from the start in the state. We had BBQ at a little local restaurant about 40 minutes out of Montgomery. In Montgomery, we visited the First White House of the Confederacy and the State Archives. Getting back on the road, we proceeded east on I-85, switching to I-285 in Atlanta. Georgia seems to use an odd modified font on their signs: not cleartype, but not the normal fat FHWA font.
We got it just as the lighting started. We still need to get dinner, and do a test drive to Emory. Tomorrow will be our visit to Emory.
