This blog has been interrupted by breaking news – outside our balcony a demonstration is taking place. From what we can gather, today is Labor Day and the local communists are demonstrating for Work, Dignity, and Rights. It looks like the entire town has turned out for this. Speakers on the gazebo have been shouting stirring sentiments to the people. Occasionally the crowd will applaud and blow horns. Police are milling around the crowds and there are dogs which look like mean police dogs. The speeches seem to be over and music is being played.

Yeah, the "communists" were out yesterday in the states a bit as well. Not as many as they hoped for, but the OWS crowd did attempt to cause a bit of ruckus. At least the Feds were able to stop some of them from blowing up a bridge in Cleveland, Ohio. Have safe travels home! Jack
