Bang the Drum Loudly (and Honk the Horn, Too)

It's been a long day and we were settling in for a quiet evening when we heard very loud banging outside. Several hundred people were marching boisterously down the middle of the street, protesting the coup in Honduras and U.S. military bases in Colombia. Their banging and shouting was loud enough, but it's gotten much worse: the marchers blocked Callao just past Las Heras, a block from our apartment, and now there is a huge traffic jam of taxis and buses below our balcony honking angrily in protest at the protestors.

We've heard loud protest marches before.

It's too dark for photos or video of the march, unfortunately, but I'm posting some new snaps on Flickr...
