Today was my first official day playing and exploring the park, and it has blown me away. In New York, central park was cool, but I always felt like I could never get a grip on the park: totally different back in Atlanta. Maybe its because I feel like I belong in this city more, or maybe it was the 70 degrees and clear blue skies- whatever it was, I just felt like this park was calling my name. The park is also going to be my official debut of my kickball talents. To make new friends, I am continuing on my friend dating, but doing it through a league- we play every Sunday and then go to the bar to drink. The perfect way to make friends- sports and booze. The easiest way to make friends.
Because I grew up in the Atlanta area, I thought I knew everything- well, clearly I am wrong. One main reason I know everything is because now that my boyfriend will be spending the summer in Atlanta, he is trying to get a grip on the city, and he asks me questions, asks where things are or how to get places and I have NO clue. So having him so curious about where everything is forces me to explore more and actually take the effort. Without him asking- I wouldn't even care to look.
Another concept I discovered this weekend: beer drinking at a brewery. If you have never had Sweetwater beer- you need to. Your life will be rocked- believe me. I can now confidently say that I have tried EVERY one of their beers- and all exceeded my expectations. Plus, as the brewery, I got a free glass with my $8 dollar entry fee and 6 beer tickets (which ended up being about 10 tickets between myself, my boyfriend and a few friends, because people thought that we looked thirsty and would just hand us their tickets.)- totally worth the $8 and 15 minute drive.
This weekend just showed me- there are plenty of places left for me to discover. Game on...
Peace, love and still new places,
B
