Amazing Atlanta - Part Two

The CNN Tower! After this marvelous excursion, what is a trip to Atlanta without going to CNN! This is where the news get done. The group arrived at the CNN tower, and pay for our entrance ticket. Once it was our turn, the guide told us to follow him, so we hop into the electric staircase and got into the upper floor. There, the guide shows us the different things that makes this news agency one of the best in the world and the most requested source of news in the US. They show us the studio where there was a few of the newscasters that we’ve seen in CNN.

What a treat it was to see some of them in action. one interesting thing is that they had their laptop close to them, and a little stand with wheels that had a box where they have munchies or chips to keep them at ease. At the end, we have the treat to be taken a picture with the background as if we were at the studio, and voila! We were the next America’s newscaster. Alejandra and I got seated and it was like one of those super duper newscast team! It was an eye opener to see how they do the news and what entails to make it possible to view it on TV. Have to handed it to them and applaud for their excellent way of delivering the news!

To end the night, we all decided to eat Italian. So we went to this place that was recommended by our concierge called Veni Vidi Vici. Simply, the best Italian food I’ve taste.
