Andre in Atlanta: Praise thy shopping gods!
The one and only thing that I was supposed to bring back was a National Geographics map of Costa Rica. We can’t get those in Canada. During a lull in “interesting” presentations, I hopped on MARTA and went North all the way up to Perimeter Mall. I mistakenly thought that the REI would be there but I found out that I had to walk an additional 20 min under the scorching sun. Once I got there, all I saw were maps of the South-East and US national parks. Despondent, I walked around the store while waiting for the AC to cool me down. Upon my return to the map section, I noticed a capital C sticking out from behind a map of Yellowstone. I pulled it out and fell on my knees, the only map from outside the US was exactly the one I was looking for.
Sorry, about the MARTA mixup. You probably know this by now but the Perimeter store is across the street from the Sandy Springs station. It would have been much closer.
