Yesterday was an amazingly beautiful day here, so a few of us took a day trip up to a place called Helen. It's a little town in North Georgia that has been made to look like a German Alpine Village. Needless to say, it was pretty awesome. Highlights of the day included:
- Eating Schnitzel
- Eating the most amazing funnel cake (see below)
- Using German phrases all day
- Seeing the largest pitch pine in the state of Georgia
- Taking pictures of all of these random activities
- Getting a sunburn in February (don't worry, I'm just a bit pink)
The really interesting thing was that it is basically just a big tourist attraction of Georgia, so alongside the Alpine village theme, they also have just about anything else touristy you could want, like redneck T-shirts and a haunted house. One of my favorite places was a Mexican restaurant right in the middle of the "authentic" Bavarian village.
Oh, and there was also this place:
which I think might be trying to be a knockoff of Giordano's.
