Atlanta, Georgia

I have wanted to visit the sight of Martin Luther  King, Jr's home and church for some time.  We left North Carolina and went directly to the King National Park site.  I have to admit, the museum was disappointing.  The exhibits were limited, and the site seemed to be not well taken care of . The gift shop was empty without any resources or books !

 Thank goodness we braved the torrential downpour and went across the street to the church.  The talk was good and the church has been rebuilt to replicate the way it was in MLK's time.  We walked up the street to his home and finally found an excellent book store and gift shop.  The Park Service needs to work on this one.

The highlight of our evening was staying with Shaun Raviv and. Miranda Kaplan. They have only been in Atlanta for a few months and were gracious hosts! We were fortunate to get to know them a touch better and learn a smidge more about their time in Africa. Thank you Shaun and. Miranda!
