Everyones feet are pretty messed up, so we decided to rest a day instead of continuing 16 miles from Baltimore. As it turns out Barbara Apolonio got in contact with some media and we ended up walking two miles through downtown Baltimore starting from the Ja Ling Center. We were joined by about 10 others including Barbara and Geshe Tupten. We marched through the streets and chanted Free Tibet, Shame on China, Long live the Dalai Lama, Freedom Now, Stop the Killing in Tibet, Stop the Genocide, no Freedom no Olympics. Before the protests started we were filmed by Fox 45 News. I ended up getting picked by the group to speak. I was alittle nervous and left some things out, but I think I got our point across. We were also filmed and interviewed by the Baltimore Sun. Lots of people stopped to find out what was going on, many people beeped their horns. The protest was excellent. We finished back at the Ja Ling Center where nwe ate lunch, another excellent meal cooked by Geshe Yeshi. Thanks again. Now we are getting ready for dinner. I will posts photos of the last few days later. Possibly some videos. Thanks for your patience.
This is us on the news from today.
Check out the video from the protest.
