Things you see when you don’t take the train.

My husband and I took a short trip earlier this month to visit with my sister and her husband while they were in Myrtle Beach. We flew. It was a great, short trip. We can do that because our daughter, Jennifer, flies for Delta and we have flight benefits (Thank you, Jen).

We always take the people mover train at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport. Especially when going to our gate – gotta get to the gate early and all that. And besides, it’s a quarter of a mile between terminals not to mention the long concourses!

So, when we came home, we landed and debarked at terminal “D”. I was getting down on myself because I hadn’t walked at all on our short trip (I'm in weight watchers). So, when we got down into the lower level to take the train back to baggage claim, I saw a lady, about my age in a wheel chair. I thought to myself, God gave you two good legs, use ‘em. So, I told my husband I’d meet him at baggage claim shortly and took off.


What a nice surprise to see a series of sculptures along the way. They were all modern sculptures from African artists. Very nice.
Next time you’re at Hartsfield, walk through the lower level and if you have time, stop to look at each one. They were truly beautiful – and I didn’t have to pay an admission charge to see them. According to the write-up above, they are on permanent display.
