Enjoy it. I'll have to wait until the Dalai Lama's next visit. ________________________________________ <em>Yeah, I don't know what to expect of this. It's been such a rollercoaster, waiting to see if we actually got tickets. Initially we were told we would get them, and then were told that demand was so high, we might not. So, we've just been hanging out---going with the flow. It's not a bad thing to be in Seattle. We're just taking it easy and seeing where we end up. It's a laid back adventure, which is just what we need right now. ~W</em> Namasté

I had heard that they were nearly impossible to get. (unless you started a few years ago) Yay for you! I imagine that it will be an amazing experience and you are to tell us ALL!! Hugs.

I would love to see him, we have a good friend that is getting an audience with him...and my stepfather was lucky enough to see him twice (in Nepal) years ago. He and my father used to go over and "help" out the native Tibetans with things like visits to the hospital. I think they could take a van load of people to go get health check-ups for like $5 or $10... ________________________________________ <em> As excited as I am to be there... this part of the conference is jam packed with religious dignitaries. It's going to be stunning to just to see all the names involved in ONE ROOM. Even if I need binoculars to actually SEE them. Heh. Maybe they'll simulcast on the jumbotron?? ~W</em> Congratulations!
