World of Coca-Cola building.

Well the weather has been miserable but I am not complaining. I saw on the news that there is a lot of flooding in Mississippi and in the general area that I traveled through. I am thankful that I continue to have safe travels, yet I feel for those individuals and families.

I was trying to visit the Cartoon Network headquarters today but was unsuccessful. No one responded to my email of a week ago. I stopped by there and was turned away at the security gate. I called the only number I could find and a helpful HR person had me send her an email to forward to someone that may be able to help. I haven't heard anything yet and I don't know that I will hold my breath.

Upon a suggestion from a friend I decided to spend a bit of cash to visit the World of Coca-Cola. I am glad I did. The ticket to get in was nearly $20 and the parking for up to four hours another $10. The moment I was greeted at the door I was offered a cold drink. At the end I went to the tasting room, more on that later.

Throughout the museum there were so many interesting historical/educational bits of information. The founder's accountant actually came up with the original Coca-Cola script/logo. There was a lot of thought in making this place educational and entertaining. There was a 4D movie there, but I feel it really was just a 3D one, as I felt nothing sprayed at me (air or water) nor rumbling of the seats. Entertaining all the same.

The tasting room; well I left a little sick. I tasted all the flavors they had in Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Europe. I opted out of some of them from North America; the artificial sweetener ones. I'm sorry to say but I think Europe had the most disgusting ones overall. Asia and Latin America were about 50/50. Africa had the best tasting overall . . . tied with North America I would say. I had so many flavors that when it came to having an actual coke at the end, I just couldn't stomach it.

While it was light out I decided to get moving. The rain has been coming down in buckets. I got to my night destination early and have been working ever since. I don't think I will get a rest from the rain any time soon, but one can dream!
