Dear Mr. Salopek,
My name is Wayland, one of the 7th grade students in St. Martins. I still remember you speaking to us. It’s really courageous of you to go through many countries on foot. I’m impressed that you’re going to take about 30,000,000 footsteps. Seven years is really a long time for me. I have many questions for you. What do you plan to bring in just a backpack? If you get into trouble, what will you do? Once you accomplish your task, what will you do? Good luck, have fun, and have a good happy 2013.
Sincerely,
Wayland
7th Grade, St. Martin’s-in-the-Field Episcopal School, Severna Park, MD
