Global Night Commute

What an incredible night!!!! We walked the 14 miles from GVSU Allendale to Rosa Parks Circle in downtown Grand Rapids. Needless to say, I am VERY sore right now...

So then we got to the circle - and the MidWest team from Invisible Children was there!!!


It was so cool to see them again. They said that since we were one of the cities with the largest numbers, that they were going to take a special video and shots of us.






Can you see me in that last one? I was sitting on a guys shoulders who was sitting on another guys shoulders!!! We were 3-tierd!!! I can't spell that word. Then... We slept...







We arose the next morning and walked home... Just like the children do. Grand Rapids had 1000 people - Washington D.C. had 1300 people. Every state had at least one city. Michigan had 5. Peru. Ireland. Singapore. Canada. New Zeeland. Norway. All these countries participated. Every single one of us wrote letters to our governing officials. In the states, we all wrote letters to a state senator of our choice, and one to the president. President Bush will be receiving 50 THOUSAND letters in the next week. Good morning Mr. President, this is your wake up call. It was incredible, and I hope to go to Uganda someday soon...
