After a couple of hours back at the hotel we drove to an area called Five Points (where Butch Walker live) and through the Piedmont Park and up to an area called Buckhead which is where the large chain stores and shopping malls are.
Due to the thunder and lightning we headed back to the hotel and ate there.
