marching in a demonstration against FARC

Got a call from carolina this morning, seems we did nothing wrong, she hung with her friend who was leaving on saturday and then either a family member or a pet had to go to the hospital, i couldnt tell with the accent. She said she was verey sorry, i was just glad that we were still Amigos. There was a big demonstration against the FARC, violence and terrorism all over Columbia. Ther must have been close to a million people marching the streets. We went downtown to have a look from the outside. Christian tried getting some photos from a view point atop a park bench. He has a really nice camera and it must have looked like we were journalist because someone came up and offered us to come upstairs to a balcony, from the balcony of the store we were in we were soon led up to the 10th story of the building, you could see through out the entire city. He got some great photos, if i new how to download them onto these slow computers i would share them, just imagine loads of dark heads in white tshirts yelling no more murder in Spanish. We are headed on a 15 hour night bus to Santa Marta, up north and then we will mini bus it to Tanaga for some diving.
