Crawford, TX - January 19, 2009

It seemed somewhat appropriate to pay a visit to the Crawford Texas Peace House this past Monday. I am still not sure how it all ties in, but it was MLK day and Bush's last day, well...it seemed like a natural place to go.

According to Google maps, the place is about 3.5 hours from my house. I sent an invite to many people and was a little sad that only 1 friend ended up going. We really had a nice time, well at least i did. I was also a bit saddened that it was not very busy, but according to the "staff", most "activists" were going to Dallas or Washington, D.C. for the big day Tuesday.

I'd only ever been to this place once, and i must admit there were a lot more people the last time in 2005. Still...i thought to post some images. I hope to remind people that the peace cause should not die now that GWB is out of office. But hey, don't let me spoil the fun.
