Serena was leading the team again!

Our arrival at Shortlanesend Community Primary School was celebrated with the kids waving flags in which the country had the same first letter as their own name.

One of our runners imitates the New Zealand Rugby team's traditional dance.

What may look like funny dancing is actually a small skit that two of our team members put on to show kids what is harmony and what isn't!

The kids were lovely and many of them voiced their wishes for harmony out loud, not something that usually happens.

Running with these kids was a blast, they didn't want to stop!

Do you think the stamps make her even cuter?

No comment!

Serena has been a very valuable and encouraging member of our team, and she can run fast too!

Our videographer captured some amazing moments.

All of the runners agreed this was one of the most picturesque cities they've been in.

The kids at Archbishop Benson Primary school have a wonderful view...

...the running club greeted us at the entrance and showed us the way to their school.

With over 400 kids this school was a lot of fun!

They nearly defeaned us with their shouting of our motto; "Harmony begins with me"!

Runners from the school's club demonstrated their speed...

...and they were fast...here one of the fastest zooms by.

After the schools we took to the road for some scenic miles...

...and an invigorating swim.

Most of us had no clue the U.K. had such a diverse climate and plantlife.

Some kind people joined us along the way.

Are we in California or the United Kingdom?

The coast trail was a fantastic run...some of the most beautiful views, and steepest hills!

One of the runners from California commented that it looked like the Northern California coast.

Around every corner we spotted a new bay with beautiful aquamarine colored water.

More great people along the way!

We narrowly escaped this small road.

A view of St. Michaels, which is only accessible when there is a low tide, at least by foot that is!

Don't look down...

Some aspiring runners joined us at the end of our route.

The town of Penzance was ready to greet the Harmony Run.

A friend of one of the runners showed us our pictures in the local newspaper.

Nothing like a great meal to finish off the day. Thanks to the Taj Mahal Restaurant!
