September 29 was the ninth day of our walk. Although the temperature was very high, practitioners were still in good spirits and did not slow down. At noon, we arrived at Arroyo Grande, and held a press conference and exercises demonstration in front of the City Hall as planned. It was Saturday and there was a fair near the City Hall. Many people saw our demonstration and read the exhibition boards.
