I waited with great anticipation for Pangea Day to arrive and it was truly worth the wait. I watched all four hours and,like everyone else, I was saddened, enlightened, enriched, amused, angered, and found that another's shoes could fit me well and the vision through another's eyes was beautiful indeed. This is the kind of event we need to spread understanding and compassion in this world. From the depths of myheart,"THANKYOU"
