"I'm walking because I'm ignorant. I'd thought that I was ready to teach, only to find as I'm preparing for this journey, that I have so much more to learn."

Wednesday, August 29, 2012 at 8:00AM I am departing from Parkman Bandstand on the Boston Common, and starting a 462 mile trek to 100 Congress St. SW in Washington, D.C.
