so cool

Obama was in town yesterday for a conference and I happened to be biking down the lakefront trail when he arrived... It was f@#!ing awesome! When I got to about soldier field, the trail was blocked off by cops on horses so I turned around. About 30 seconds later, 2 huge black helicopters fly over me and land about 100 yards away. Then marine one comes and flys about 30 feet over my head. My mouth was just hanging open :) I couldn't really see anything up close so I went back to Lake Shore by Balbo, right by my school, and the whole motorcade roles by about 2 minutes later. It was so cool. Easily one of the highlights of summer break so far.
