I saw the King yesterday. I was trying to get home from my Arabic lesson, only to find a police barricade preventing me from crossing the street. I milled around for a few minutes, trying to figure out how to get home in time for work, when a shout in the crown signaled the King was coming. He drove by in one of the many ridiculously nice sports cars, waving to the crowd. I just saw his hand, his neck and his hairline, but I recognized him. The woman next to me shook her toddler and coaxed him to look at the waving hand. A few people clapped. The car disappeared and people pushed through the barricade and practically trampled each other crossing street.
