You will see some pictures we have taken of our apartment and our surroundings. To give you an idea of where everything is located, here are two maps: the left one is our neighborhood, and the right one is one that extends further out. You can see that our neighborhood is close to many parks, but also very close to Georgia Tech.
The star in both maps shows
the location of our apartment. Piedmont park is 200 meters northeast. The
next two photos show a stroll we took in Piedmont Park on Feb 26, 2003. This is the park entrance on the corner of
Piedmont Ave and 12th street. You cross the road and enter the
park.
This is what you see right after you enter the
park. The building in the background for cultural events.
This is a photo on the other side of the park,
close to downtown (taken in early March). The house is a typical
southern-style home:

Atlanta is full of green areas - even in
downtown!
Here are some pictures of Malina, our
cat:

Malina on the couch (she is a bit lazy).
Malina likes to site on the wondow pane and stare outside (for hours!)
A favorite spot is under the coffee table, where she also likes to rub on the rug (and sctratch her nails). Unbelievably, the rug has proven to be cat-resistant. That means that all her scratching tendencies get expressed on that carpet and nowhere else (she is very nice in that manner).
A close up....
And, whenever it gets a bit hot (which happens quite often here in Atlanta), she likes to just lie down on the floor!
