So here's how the demonstration went...a few thousand tried to march on the U.S. Embassy but were somewhat thwarted by police blockades. A thousand of them decided to march all the way to the suburbs. We heard about via official channels so we were not too worried as they were going to an area close by but not too close.
When they got to the bridge that leads to Calacoto, they were thwarted by another police blockade so they dispersed. It was lunchtime by then anyway.
One demonstration leader vowed the Embassy would have been burnt to the ground if it weren't for the fact that the Ambassador was already gone. Gotta wonder if they really have it in them to strike like that and in all seriousness, I hope they don't.
I've found a great beach house in Navarre...with room for visitors!
