We passed so many beautiful sites and got our hands dirty in God's awesome creation every step of the way.
Met tons of new people. Made many new friends. Was on live TV and got interviewed many times as well (yikes. lol)
It only rained once fore about 10 minutes during the entire pilgrimage. The sun was constantly shining (not to mention burning everyone's skin until we looked like apples.... ;)
It was in the high 80's and mid 90's most all week....but a breeze was blowing sometimes to keep us from sizzling too badly.
Handing out rosaries, cards, food and drinks to random strangers as we walked professing our beliefs for Religious Freedom made the walk extra interesting. We received lots of waves and cheers from cars and passerby'....but surprisingly not many negative comments came our way (until we reached Baltimore......a bit worse in that area.)
We camped out at Fort Frederick the first night and slept at generous church rectories the rest of the nights. Everyone was so supportive and hospitable. Such happy folks. :)
All-in-all...I'm really glad I went.
I always felt kinda' useless when it came ti politics or matters of protest but now that I had the chance to get out there and be physically as well as mentally active...I feel like we can all make a difference.
Thanks to everyone who wished us luck and prayed on us...both made it a lot easier, knowing that we were supported in our cause from all around the world.
