CNN and Georgia Aquarium

On Friday afternoon we drove to Atlanta in busy traffic for the next GRSP student weekend. When we arrived we all had dinner together before heading off with host families for the evening.

The group I was with went to a house and we had a bonfire. It had been a long time since I did that, and we toasted marshmallows, and made s'mores. It was cold out, but the fire warmed us up nicely. We then all went inside and watched Jurassic World. There was a group of about 10 of us. Then we split off into smaller groups to sleep for the night.

The next morning we were up early and delivered to the YMCA in Atlanta for the day's activities. We rode in a yellow school bus to downtown and broke up into two groups.One group went to CNN and the other went to The World of Coke.

I went to CNN and I found it very interesting. I expected more staff to be there though. It was good to see how things worked inside, and to see some technology and techniques that I recognised. After that we got back together with everyone for lunch.

In the afternoon we all went to the Georgia Aquarium, which is meant to be the largest in the world. There were lots of things to look at, including jellyfish, which are my favourite. We also saw a dolphin show which had a bit of a cheesy story, but was still good to see.

In the evening we had burgers for dinner back at the YMCA and we also went rock climbing and swimming. We had hot chocolate before bed and all slept together on big gym mattresses. We talked until late and didn't really get much sleep, but we all enjoyed our time together.
