George Herbert Walker Bush Presidential Library.

Location, College Station, TX

A much warmer night last night. We are in a short warming trend right now but it will moderate by this weekend. It has been over caste all day today which keeps the night temperature up some.

We visited the George Herbert Walker Bush Presidential Library today. It is an impressive building located on the west side of the Texas A & M University campus.

The inside is laid out in a series of partial circles which chronicle Bush’s life. It is well done with a surprising amount of materiel displayed. The red rug was a gift from Kuwait after its liberation during Desert Storm.

Outside of the library is a statue which represents the tearing down of the Berlin Wall. The horses are depicted jumping over the wall signifying the dash for freedom. The Berlin wall came down during Bush’s time as president.

We spent several hours touring the museum.

We will watch the Olympics on TV again tonight.
