It is also our plan to organize local marchers to join you at the city limits and escort you across the city. This is important work. Thank you for taking the lead. Terry Bergdall<br>

Geartruck with all the other vehicles to the Sat/Sun campsite. Then the vehicle
drivers were shuttled back to join the Procession. We arrived at Santa Fe
Railyard Park at 10:45. There were a series of speakers including the Mayor of
Santa Fe. It is astounding to find the network of people in Santa Fe that are
working on a sustainable future environment—non-profit organizations, political
lobbies, churches, neighborhood organizations, and more.</span><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(62,0,63)"></span></p>

Packards, George and Elise, attended. George had shuttled me around town on Fri
to see if I could get a replacement charger for my computer. After the Rally we
went out for lunch. Elise went to play in a marimba concert and George helped
me get my luggage and took me to their home. I had a chance to take a bath and
get my laundry done. Packards invited Marilee Blanchard and her partner, Bill,
and John Singleton over for dinner. We had a heartwarming get-together!</span><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(62,0,63)"></span></p>

we watched a TV program sponsored by Santa Fe during breakfast, and then went
to the Presbyterian Church. We attended the Adult Study group and morning
worship. Michael Dowd was the speaker at both events. Michael has joined the
March periodically. He’s written a book entitled <u>Thank God for Evolution.</u>
He and his wife have no residence. They travel around the country making
presentations.</span><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(62,0,63)"></span></p>

George and Elise took me on a tour of Santa Fe. The first place was the Santa
Fe Museum. Once again I was astounded to learn the history of Santa Fe, and all
the different people that established residence and fought over the right to
inhabit Santa Fe. I learned that Santa Fe is the first Capital City in the US.
We also went to the Catholic Cathedraland, a building that had been a Native
American residence. </span><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(62,0,63)"></span></p>

downtown and the Packards took me back to the March campsite. I would have been
pleased to spend one more night with them, but I felt I needed to be back in
camp for the evening so I would be prepared to pack up and leave in the
morning. The Packards made my stay in Santa Fe a marvelous respite.</span><span><font color="#888888"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(26,26,26)"></span></font></span></p><span><font color="#888888">
