Sound Walk

Start off in CMA lobby. Walk out the doors and to the left over to the ramp. Walk down the ramp and continue walking straight until your reach the statue by the Union. Take a left down the hill until you reach the street that allows you to walk towards the tower. Once you reach that street take a right and walk towards the tower. Slowly get closer and closer but then take a right onto the FAC steps. Then walk down the FAC ramp towards the flagpole in that is near the tower. When you reach the flags turn and walk toward the lawn in the middle of the six pack. As you are walking down take the right sidewalk instead of the left and slowly make your way down. Pass the waterfall and cross the sidewalk towards the church. After youve crossed the to the church side take a right and walk up speedway. After you make it past the dobie parking lot take a left. When you have walked about 20 to 30 feet take a right up the stairs leading to dobie but dont go all the way up stop and go through the doors on the first level. Once inside keep towards your left for about 30 to 40 steps. Finally follow the sweet smell that covers the area and you have reached your destination where there are shiny lights and chocolate, peanut butter, and snickerdoodle to name a few.

Evan reminded me of this radio doc today, and with the Israeli-Palestinian talks in the news right now, I thought some of you might want to listen to a more personal story about that conflict.
