Not So Quiet After All

A quick lesson in background checking. Always Google first. It sounds painfully obvious, and it might have saved me from prematurely posting my last.

At any rate, all was quiet today except for the little detail of a large protest march (which, seriously, I heard nothing about in my little cocoon inside the language school) which was mostly peaceful except for when protesters took two police officers hostage in response to the arrest of a fellow protester on Monday morning. I'll be interested to get more information on this as it comes out. Apparently I still don't speak enough Spanish--or hang out in the right places. More soon.
