There Is Georgia, And Then. . .

there is Atlanta. We were in Atlanta to meet with Minh Hang and her husband Luy. Minh lived with us in Honolulu when she was a student at the University of Hawaii. Here are Minh and Luy during a recent trip to Hanoi.

We were in the suburbs West of Atlanta, in an area chockablock full of asian businesses. Minh and Luy took us to dinner at a nearby Vietnamese restaurant. Very, very tasty!

The next day, Saturday, was spent touring the sights of suburban Atlanta, including one of only three authentic Indian temples in North America. The Hayashi's are on the left, then me, then Minh and son Christopher, Luy, and daughter Christina, the Architect. (Mieko took the picture.)
The temple is put together without reinforcing bars, concrete, glue, whatever. It is truly stunning.

And then to lunch at a nearby winery, the Chateau Elan. Nice restaurant, interesting wine shop, elegant **** hotel, golf course, the works! And, the food and wine were terrific.
