Day One in Atlanta, Georgia...
We aren't quite ready to head back to the city life so spent the day at Stone Mountain, watching the city skyline from a distance! π
The actual walk to the summit takes less than 30 mins, but is very exposed because the whole mountain is a big lump of granite. Meaning we got very very hot walking up! π₯
Alot of interesting history at Stone Mountain including the construction of a massive Confederate Memorial carving of three men on horses on the side of it (see photos). One of the men was President Jefferson Davis.
There was also alot of K*K history at Stone Mountain... But I need to find out a bit more about that side of things as it wasn't explained in detail at the museum π³
Tomorrow we will head into Atlanta city... π±
