Dandi-Walk

Just after returning from the competition a French couple had arrive in Navsari walking all the way from Shabarmati Ashram (Ahmedabad) to Dandi, the way Gandhi walked when he broke the salt law.
To have some company from Europe I stayed with them for the last two days of their walk and joined latter. It was really nice to be out and walk a lot and all the people we met on the way were very friendly and some even invited us to their home or welcomed and honored us with flowers.
Besides walking we saw many places where Gandhi had stayed, slept, done talks etc.
Unfortunately I couldn’t talk much with the French, because they only new little English, but the walk was s a nice interruption and break in my daily routine, but unfortunately made me stay away form the kids for most the two days.
