While at the public swimming pool today with some friends, a motorcade of cars swept by about 50 yards away. It really looked like something out of a movie. Police motorcycles in front followed by several black SUV's followed by several other motorcycles.
To be honest, I was a bit shocked to see a motorcade like that since no one really famous ever comes to Madison. The President? I wondered. A Presidential nominee? Bono?
But no, it was the Dali Lama who was in town giving a speech to a large crowd at the fair grounds. And there I was 50 feet away in my swimsuit as he was escorted away to some undisclosed location.
And that is probably the closest I will ever be to being near the Dali Lama.
Haha, I love the title of this post!! :-)
