I have just finished with day 1 and I have to say I am a bit exhausted. We started the walk in Wrek beach after a touch down in the Pacific ocean. We went all the way from there to SFU. Did not quite make it to Langley, but we called it a day after 10 hours (and 25 kms) of walking. The majority of the responses can be summed up with one word "indifference". People saw our loud t-shirts but us peaceful Canadians didn't care too much to take a stance either way. However, we did receive a few responses both positive and negative. Negative responses included finguring, abusive language and foul remarks. Most of the pro-choice people did not quite stay to have a conversation with us. There were also positive remarks which included thumbs ups and a guy that recognized us in the BC Catholic, supported us and commended us. The warmest support we received was from a guy back at St. Stephens, N.Vancouver that was just filled with pride and amazement at what we were doing. He just wanted to join hands and pray with us, which he did and you could tell he was passionate about what we were doing. Tommorrow we start from Couquitlam. Stay tuned. More exciting news to come. As always we welcome your comments and prayer intentions.
