Gorgeous morning at Christopher's and Marienne house. They kindly fed our team again, this time for breakfast, with some most delicious and wholesome food which brings smiles to our faces, joy to our hearts and strength to our body for some more running today.

As we make our way onwards and onwards, we reach the Municipal Building of Bridgewater.
We present the Run and sing the Peace Run song for Town Clerk Destinee Davis who came out to receive us on a Saturday morning.

Welcome to the Town of Esperance.
Town Supervisor of Esperance Earl Van Wormer III welcomes the runners into the Town Hall. He was deeply moved by the message of the Peace Run. He expressed the need for humanity to work in unity and solidarity, respecting each others' differences, believes and opinions.
We are extremely grateful for this visit to Esperance. Thank you Earl for sharing your life stories with us and providing refreshments so we can continue running. We continue with much joy and enthusiasm, grateful for the new friend we have met in Esperance.
In the evening we reach the City of Albany, NY. In the picture is Peace Run founder Sri Chinmoy with executive director Salil Wilson. In 1991 the City of Albany was dedicated as the world's first Sri Chinmoy Peace Capital. As per the Proclamation: "Peace Capital confidently steps out from the crowd and patiently waits for others to join it, knowing that one day all men and women will take that step and stand shoulder to shoulder in peace".
