One thing you learn very quickly in Argentina is that there are countless groups that protest here. Sometimes the protests are large, organized and regularly scheduled (for example, the well-known Mothers of the Disappeared in Buenos Aires, every Thursday at 3:30 p.m. in Plaza de Mayo). Often, however, protests just kind of happen. They can be loud and very large, or, as happened on Friday, consisted of 5 people who were banging on drums and blowing whistles as they walked outside my apartment building at 7:30 a.m. It's just one of those occurrences that happen here.

ReplyDeleteThe protest by the Mothers of the Disappeared took place in Buenos Aires. The people banging on drums took place, unfortunately, in Rosario.
