Marietta,Ga.

Bob and eloise Pino toured us around the city of Marietta. It's grown to a town of over 70,000 and is a major suburb of Atlanta. The tour also included much of Cobb county and parts of Fulton county. It's a bustling area with some very upscale neighborhoods. We stopped at the Kennesaw Mountain Battle Park which comemorates the civil war battle as Sherman approached Atlanta. In Marietta he left only oe house standing, the home of a former West Point classmate. Needless to say, Sherman is not very popular down here.
Today we head toward Atlanta and a huge market where all types of antiques etc are available. The Pino's have acquired many furnishings for their home there.
