This week everyone at UGA was on Spring Break. We to did get a couple of classes off, but remained hard at work. And spring is still a misnomer, although it is starting to warm up nicely.
As everyone else took their breaks, the tour schedule picked up--I gave a tour each day during the early part of the week. I actually really enjoy these, as it's a chance to make conversation while spouting random knowledge. We also began our NCAA brackets. Mine is pathetic as normal, with my pick to win it all being UNC. We'll see how far that gets me!
On Thursday, I went to dinner at Horace and Dickie's, a fried fish place off of H Street. This small shack was featured on Travel Channel's Man vs. Food, and yes, there's a lot of very good food there, which you can get for very cheap. I certainly recommend a trip there for anyone who likes fried catfish!
Today, I took a trip to the National Zoo and saw lions, tigers, and bears, oh my! The tiger was definitely the best, as we saw it waking up. It then proceeded to play like a house cat with a toy--the toy in this case being an empty keg. Pictures from the zoo should get posted eventually--perhaps when I post the very old ones from Alexandria.
The plan for tomorrow is a trip to Mount Vernon, but considering how fickle our group is, we'll see if that holds up. I hope everyone else continues to have a wonderful end of spring break!
