Mexican Man Walks 1,200 Miles With Soccer Ball On His Head

A 60-year-old Mexican man taking a cross-country walk with a football
placed on his head to call for peace in the country has completed the
first 1,200-mile leg of his journey. UPIreports:

Juan Marquez Nieto, 60, arrived Sunday in Mexico City, 57 days after
starting his walk across Mexico to promote peace as part of the
Uniting Wishes for Peace movement.

Nieto, who balances a soccer ball on his head while he walks, said he
plans to head north for the second leg of his tour.

Uniting Wishes for Peace organized a march in November from the
southern state of Guerrero to Mexico City to demand answers from the
government regarding the disappearances of 43 students.

An accused gang-affiliated hitman is currently in custody and police
suspect he killed the students and burned their bodies.
