We avoided the area around the stadium so we wouldn't have to deal with traffic. I didn't see the crowds or pay much attention to the whole thing. There are few public figures I would be less interested in seeing than the Dalai Lama. Everything I've ever heard him say sounds completely vacuous and uninteresting.
Oh trust me, I only went up River Road (by Rutger's Stadium) because I had to!
Wow, I just couldn't believe all the people.
