It was an early morning start going into Indiana today. Sukantika(left) from Chicago was very helpful to us today and all the time we were in Chicago. She took care of the women's team for days and also was a key person in arranging our ceremonies.

Sgt. Shawn Sullivan from the East Chicago Police escort whose team really took care of us running through the busy streets this morning.

A Representative from the Gary Mayor's office offers her soulful wisdom and inspirational words at our ceremony here.

Pavaka and our super friendly host, Kristin Fatouros. We really felt welcome.
We were treated with fruits and drinks, well appreciated after running in the heat.

...where a most friendly welcome and a delicious meal was offered to us. Most of the food was organic and, of course, delicious!

And then off we go for a hay ride!
This was a kind and fun offering from the owners of the campground.

A happy Dysksta family with a happy Peace Run Team. Kirsti Dykstra accepts our Certificate of Appreciation on behalf of her husband Mark and their kind children who all contributed so much to our visit here tonight.
