Oops, I was in the wrong Athens.
Go Dawgs!
UGA (University of Georgia) is everywhere in Athens. Seriously. It was a lot of fun visiting with Ethan and getting a personal tour of the campus. He has been at UGA for a month now as a second semester sophomore transfer student. He seems to be settling into the scene.
Chris and I enjoyed the tour around the campus. It is a large campus with something new to see at every turn. I was impressed with the 92,000 seat football stadium and the expansive bookstore. Another nice feature is that the town is just off campus. The arches are the divide between the town and the university. We ate dinner in Athens just across the street from the arches.
I have to get used to the idea that the symbol of an elongated "G" does not only mean Greenbay Packers. A "G" is circled in red means UGA Bulldogs. I did see the entire lineage of actual bulldogs that have served as mascots in the bookstore.
The next time we visit, we may try to get a hotel actually in the downtown city area to be closer to the activities and the campus. I have to admit, the roads are a bit confusing, thankfully the mapping apps got us around without any problem.
