Taking off tomorrow. All packed up!I made this shirt especially for the trip, it's got sleeve cuffs that fold down over my hands, and is extra long for modesty in "certain situations".
Dale Sr. will drive me into Tempe where I join my friend Ann for coffee before attending her church (an off-shoot of Catholic but they don't follow a lot of the rules, and rent rooms in other churches to meet in) and then we drive to this other woman's house and down to Tucson. Organizational meetings in Tucson tomorrow afternoon (Sunday) and Monday we are bused over the border to the town of Sasabe, right over the border. After a ceremony in Sasabe, we cross the border, on foot, and start walking.
We will have several support vans, some of the staff have medical training, and if I can't walk the whole thing, Ann tells me that I can be rotated onto a committee which rides in the vans and helps set up the camp so it's ready when the walkers get there. We sleep on the ground.
I gave Nancy the "emergency number" only to be used to contact me if there is a family emergency. Ann has bought an international phone, so if there is a reason I really need to call out, I can use that.
Love,
Lennie
