Allan here.

Good grief! I have seen fewer preparations for the coming of a president! We are both flattered and honored. Truth is that I really love that you guys are doing all this. I have loved it throughout the trip. It is simply a reflection of the friendly, hospitable folks you are. We have been truly amazed by the efforts of our many hosts. People all along the way have given of what they had to make our visits comfortable and pleasant. Some, who I know for certain have had little to spare, have shared what they had with us without hesitation. We sincerely hope that at each stop, we have given enough in return.
