Hello all! It has been entirely wayyyy to long, but I have not had internet access for the past week and a half due to travelling. I will have to fill everyone in on my trips in a later post, but I forgot to mention the rally that Kamron and I witnessed the day before we left on our tour of the Outback.
Well, Kamron lives right next to an immigrant detention center, so sometimes protests can get a little out of hand. When Kamron checked his email the day before the protest, he found one saying that all of the residents shouls stay inside if they were around during the protest or pretty much just simply avoid the area. Of course we forgot, and we walked right into it. Kamron and I walked to Highpoint (the mall), and on our way back we found ourself mixed in with a number of protesters. Luckily we were able to stick to the sides, and we had no problems staying out of the way. Fortuntately we also just missed the protestors going nut-so! There were about fifteen to twenty police officers on horseback and a number on foot. The protestors thought it would be a good idea to beat the horses with their signs, and the police officers reacted. One of the horses fell on a few of the protestors, and they claim police brutatlity... silly, huh? That is pretty much it for that story. I just thought it was funny - and crazy. We don't usually see much of that at home unless we're in the city or maybe DC.
Cheers until next time :)
