8. I don't know if Cindy's going to be
there though. I heard she is going to be in Boston then NYC. I doubt if she comes to New Haven but other members of the tour will be there.

and it was still a great thing to be a part of.

A lady next to me said, "I almost started crying when I first saw that RV turn the corner and knew it was from the Cindy Sheehan tour."

7. Oh--and most of the cars passing by were giving us the thumbs up
and beeping their horns in support.

I only saw one car where the person was giving us the finger and it had a Bush Cheney bumpersticker. We just flashed the peace sign at him and that seemed to aggravate him even more!

13. Yes--thank goodness Durham is a very blue city and county.
Sitting right beside Chapel Hill/Orange County, together we are an oasis sitting in the center of the state!

Lots and lots friendly bystanders and cars passing by today.
