On Saturday the 24th, we dove into the Flagstaff activist scene, and attended an anti-war protest to mark the fourth anniversary of the war in Iraq.

I have included some pictures of notable signs and faces.


Overall, it was good to have the opportunity to express a collective voice against the occupation, but we only marched around the block once - so it felt hard to gain momentum. In fact, it felt kind of silly cause the "march" lasted ten minutes, but I guess we Americans, at least my generation anyways, are still learning how to use our voice, you know - practice that thing called democracy. So while I hope there is no "next time," if there is, maybe we'll go around the block twice...




By the way: it is "national frozen food month." Just in case you harbored any doubts about our flourishing culture, rest assured - those in power are really thinking.

This might be the most amazing place I have ever been in my life. It's a slot canyon outside of Page, AZ in the middle of the desert. When it rains 20 miles away this can flood and fill the whole thing up.









It was kinda like being inside a Georgia O'Keefe painting...

So we've been a bit on the slack side of things in blog land. sorry. Last month we took a trip to visit our dear friends Amy and Neil in Boulder, CO. Somehow the only pic that we seem to have is of Meg and Neil playing some sort of highly challenging card game. Apparently when you haven't seen each other in a year, it doesn't take much to be entertained....
