How fabulous to share this trip with you - even vicariously. This sounds like a true "solidarity trip"..Thanks for making it so living and shared. Hope it continues to be a meeting of partners...we with them and they with us. Tell them Canada D&P is very united with them in determination and action...in this prayer that you love so much, Luke.."give us this day our daily bread"..and "your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven". You travel with all of us. Blessings, Juanita
