A tribute to the state of Georgia, USA.
Georgia, Georgia, Georgia. And what a fine state it is. For reasons unbeknownst to us, we found ourselves compelled to celebrate every last one of its 59,425 square miles when we awoke from nourishing slumber this morning and pulled the duvet from over our faces. As we drew back our collective curtains, we found our faces struck by magnificent morning light; a light all too reminiscent of those rich hues you only find down in that most famous of American states.
It's a state as beautiful as the name suggests, and with an embarrassment of riches to explore and enjoy: Stone Mountain Park, the cities of Atlanta, Athens, and Savannah, wild horses roaming Cumberland Island, its famous southern hospitality, its iconic peaches, The Varsity—the world's largest drive-in restaurant, Anna Ruby Falls, having your fingerprints taken, the World of Coca-Cola museum, the Blue Ridge Mountains. Ah, #georgia. There really is no place quite like it—it's not so much a state as a state of mind.
So if you find yourself in need of a holiday, whether a week's vacation, city break, or a few days hiking and camping in the best the natural world has to offer, you could do a lot worse than head down to the state of Georgia, USA. Don't forget to get a cute pic while you're there.

On This Day In History
May 8th, 1886: Pharmacist John Pemberton sells the first bottle of Coca-Cola, for five cents a glass as a cure for (among other things), morphine addiction, indigestion, nerve disorders, headaches, and impotence. It was a nonalcoholic version of his previous drink, Pemberton's French Wine Coca.
The original Coca-Cola recipe did involve cocaine from coca leaves and caffeine from kola nuts, these two ingredients being the source of its name. Neither is present in the current recipe.

this one is for the non americans. who else remembers being a pre-teen reading american books + listening to american songs + consuming american media all the time and constantly daydreaming what would life be if you lived in america while forgetting/ignoring your own national identity until you grew up and by then you felt like too much of a foreigner in your own skin surrounded by your land and your language
