Well, in case anyone is wondering, yes, I did see the protests against the Olympics today, because the whole parade passed right by my window. I didn't get to see the actual torch though, becaus apparently by the time it got to where I was, people had already put it out 3 times and they had moved it into a bus for safety. So all I got to see were a ton of police vans and buses, a few cars full of politicians, and protestors. There were actually 2 guys who got up on the roof of my building to hang a sign in protest, but then were chased all around by the police. Very exciting, because it all took place right outside my window. Me and a few of my coworkers were highly entertained. I did get some photos of the whole debacle (how often do you see police on teh roof wnd a parade of what should have been the Olympic torch?). I will upload them soon, I promise. I have to go and take advantage of the fact that it has stopped hailing. Oh yes, it snowed here last night, and there were still remnants of it on the ground when I went to work this morning. I guess I may have jumped the gun on thinkin gthat spring was here.
Happy Monday,
Liza

It’s too bad that Mike isn’t already in Paris. There would probably be reports of a tall guy with glasses and a knit cap chasing the Olympic bus with a fire extinguisher. Can’t wait to see your pics.
