Hi all, This week has been an interesting walk. We have been meeting numerous people who, like us, are traveling across the country for various causes. Oddly enough, up to now we haven't meet anyone doing anything like this. But we met one woman biking to end the euthanasia of animals, a couple cycling to draw attention to kids who drop out of high school, and an African man walking for "women and children". The couple who was cycling across the country actually started May 19 in Vancouver, just like us! However, we have been traveling day and night, so this explains why we just now met them. There are a few more cases that we saw this week, but I'm not sure what they were cycling for. A couple on bikes also yelled "pro-choice!" as we were walking by.... and shook their fists. Oh well. For the most part, we have been receiving lots of support - 95% of people are in support of us. Perhaps abortion is not as dead an issue as some of us are led to believe by the media... Etienne
