Just a quick Pit stop in San Francisco. I needed to grab a few things and recharge my batteries.
The weather was truly spectacular.
While jogging one day I noticed that the Dali Lama was in town. Tickets were $50 but I decided that it would be worth while to go and check him out. At the begining of the show, a guy attempted to give the Dali Lama a “gift”. The guards kind of held him back until he threw his gift at the Dali Lama. Needless to say security around high profile public figures is fierce. That guy was outta there in less than 30 seconds. So much for the “non-violent” approach.
His message was simple but clear. I decided that I would have to make Tibet one of my stops along the way.
I saw His Holiness in Portland a few years back. He was incredible. The scene looked exactly like your photo. What venue is that?
Wow…lucky you. What a bonus to all your journeys! Hope all is well in India. I’m in La Paz now but heading to Copacabana tomorrow. Enjoy
