Thanks so much! Wish I could have been there...

Couple questions about the Gathering...
Great photos, I see in the news there were about 30,000 people there, but it doesn't seem very crowded.
Were there as many folks as expected?
Were most of them Americans?

Thanks. I spent all morning writing and rewriting my thoughts. I could have written ten times as much!
It was such a moving day, one that me or any of the 30,000 will remember forever.
