Re: LIVE from the Paxilprotest!!
OK, First installment! We're safely here. I though you would all get a kick out of the view from our room at the hotel.
Sorry about the size, I don't have the program with me to re-size! If anyone can resize feel free(Darcy!!) Off to meet up with Rob!

Re: LIVE from the Paxilprotest!!
What a view Laurie!! Just by looking at the pic I feel like marching my very own protest right in my living room... Just wondering what might be cooking behind those windows, especially on the top floor where the big ones usually have their offices. Keep'em coming Laurie....
