Who's that?

I'm going to take a break from Beijing stories and talk about who I saw. Yesterday, I decided to act like a tourist in Toronto so I can see the city with a different perspective. I have lived here all my life (except for the time in Beijing of course) so it was quite fun to actually learn about some of the places that I would normally walk by without ever giving any thoughts of their importance. Anyways, as I was walking down Front St. near the Metro Convention Centre, I saw a small group of people standing around some cars. I was very curious as to what was going on so I took a peak and saw a few guys in black suits jumping into a set of 3 black luxury cars (just like the movies). Then everyone starts waving to the car in the middle as it began to move except I still have no idea who was in there. I'm thinking that it must be the mayor of the city since there weren't too many spectators. As the car drove by me, I decided to walk right up and take a look through the windows (hey I'm a tourist!). In the front seat, I see 2 bodyguards (secret service?) in suits. The back window was tinted so had to get even closer to take a look. To my surprise it was .... Hillary Clinton! I was shocked. I just saw the US ex-president's wife...and I walked right up to the window too so I her face was like a foot from me...and she was waving ;-) So I'm going to tell everyone now that Mrs. Clinton was waving at me.....at me!! Who da man?? Moi.

Anyways, I had no idea she was in Toronto so I decided to do a quick search in the Toronto Star newspaper. If you care what she wanted to say, here's the article: Emergency Commuincations Still Flawed.

Unfortunately, I had no pictures of Hillary (yes I'm on first name basis since she waved at me) because my camera battery died like 10 minutes before the encounter. Ah well. Maybe next time I drop by the Clinton's home, I'll get a photo with Bill and Hill.
