An oasis in the middle of fundamentalism, ignorance, and fear. It also offers a small bite of whatever eclectic interest one might have. Kansas City, MO also has quite a lot to offer, it can just be difficult to find your own happy place sometimes. Ahhh Lawrence. An oasis in the middle of fundamentalism, ignorance, and fear.

I call it a "misfortune" because Lawrence was such an amazing and fun town that I really wish I could have stayed longer. I spent several hours in both the Spencer and Natural History museums, not to mention the time I spent exploring downtown Lawrence, and still felt I'd barely touched on all there was to do in Lawrence. I went by The Raven bookstore several times, each time saying, "I must go in there!" and then not going in. I can't explain why. I'd love to take this as a sign, or at least an excuse to go back to Lawrence, but unfortunately I won't be able to get away. And it sounds like you're already familiar with Lawrence's charms, but I still hope you enjoy your time there as much as I did.
