June 18th 2008 La Gran Marcha

All the streets of Buenos Aires were filled with supporters of the Farmers’ government party today. They were demonstrating for their rights, equality and more pay. The streets were filled in Blue and White, with Evita and Che's pictures in flags and banners - all leading to la Casa Rosada, the place where Evita would address the public.

I thought I even read some signs about vegetarianism. My Spanish is nowhere close to good, and so, am not sure, I got that right.

Most of the shops were closed because of the demonstration. It’s the third one I see since I’ve been here. Taking these into account, the weekend and the national flag holiday on Monday, there hasn´t been much work going on here!
