Portland Japanese Garden



We flew to Vancouver, Washington to take a look at a potential house and decided to spend the day at the Portland Japanese Garden.  The gardens were beautiful and neatly groomed. 


 

 We spent the day wandering through the 5 acre garden.

World of Coke






Although we don't drink soda anymore, we decided to check out the history of Coca Cola at World of Coke in Atlanta.




We were treated to a tour of Coke history and memoribila minus the part about it being developed in a drug store using drugs.

At the end of the tour, we were each given a cup in a room that was filled with soda machines.  We tried 80 sodas from around the world.  Some were wonderful and some, like Beverly, were terrible.  One was called Menthe and tasted like sweet mouthwash.  I had to use the Pineapple one to get rid of the taste.  They gave us each a bottle of ice cold Coca Cola on our way out via the gift shop.
