Day Twenty: Millions of peaches, peaches for me!!


We still had quite a way to drive today in order to reach Atlanta. I had already planned a stop on the way to keep us entertained. The State of Georgia is famous for its peaches. We were heading to a large Peach orchard to hopefully get some for ourselves.

However let me amuse you with a photo of Heng enjoying his second day of USA driving. Also we are always entertained by constant billboards on the highway.


Stressed much?

Nutty nut nuts.

You know you are in the Southern states when every second billboard is a religious message.

Finally we arrived at the Orchard and were interested to tour the packing plant and see the millions of peaches being sorted. Of course we also had a Southern Food buffet lunch as well. We actually didn't end up buying any peaches as the only variety that was currently available was a bit hard and not sweet enough for me. We did get some juicy blueberries instead though.


We arrived!

Look at all the peaches!!!

Southern style buffet...mmmm chicken.

If you have any room there is peach cobbler.
Then because I was getting bored of the main highways I set our GPS to shortest route, which the GPS happily obliged and sent us on a long (in time not distance) meandering drive through the countryside.

Without hitting much traffic at all we arrived in Atlanta around 6pm. Checked in to our very unique B&B (more on that later) and sought out some delicious Asian food.

  2. Sounds like a lot of driving on highways. Good ploy to see something different on the minor roads. Thinking of you both, Dad
