It's been a HOT, long and rewarding day...

So we’ve been back home from Crawford and the "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy", pro-USA, pro-soldiers tour for about an hour. I’m still sweaty - I can't seem to cool down, slightly sunburned in that oh so charming redneck, farmer’s tan kind of way, my head itches where it was under my cap and plastered to my head with sweat, I’m stinking exhausted (at least I’m not stinky - just smell like a lot of dust), my contacts really needed to be taken out (AHHHHH!), I’m really dusty, in desperate need of a shower and I’ll probably be asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. It was a long day. A looooooong day. I’ve been up since about 4:25 this morning. I tried to get back to sleep, really I did, but my mind went over all the stuff that we had to get together still. SIGH. I itch. Not just where the sunburn is but under my clothes. The wind really blew the dust around, and oh, there was a lot of it, ummm, dust that is - just enough wind to annoyingly blow that dust but not enough to be any relief until the candlelight vigil. I am extremely glad I went and I have a lot of pictures to share as well as a recap of how the day went. However, if I can, I am going to hit the hay and blog about it tomorrow. This trip was a fascinating experience and there’s quite a bit to tell!
