IVE GOT FRIDAY ON MY MIND!

ALL OVER SPAIN THERES MANY DEMONSTRATIONS TAKING PLACE WITH UNEMPLOYMENT BEING THE MAIN TOPIC. CURRENTLY IN SPAIN 4.9 MILLION PEOPLE (21.3%) ARE UNEMPLOYED AND FOR THE YOUNG 45%, TOPPING EUROPE WITH THE HIGHEST UNEMPLOYMENT ! ! ! THE PEOPLE ARE DEFYING THE GOVERNMENTS BAN TO CONTINUE THE PROTEST. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE YOUNG AND OLD HAVE UNITED IN ALL MAJOR PLAZAS AROUND SPAIN AND ARE CAMPING OUT INDEFINITELY. THE MOOD AND SPIRIT OF THE PEOPLE IS HIGH AND THERE IS NO IMMEDIATE END TO THE PROTEST IN-SIGHT. . .

FRIDAY MORNING I WAS WOKEN UP BY THUNDER BOOMING FIRE CRACKERS AND FIREWORKS BLASTING OUTSIDE. I LEAPED OUT OF BED, GRABBED MY CMERA AND FOLLOWED HUNDREDS OF ANGRY FIRE FIGHTERS WHO TOOK CONTROL OF THE STREETS. THE PROTEST WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE, LOUD, COLORFUL AND WELL ORGANIZED.

FRIDAY NIGHT WAS A TOTALY DIFFERENT STORY. MY FRIEND MAJO HAS AN AMAZING NEW GALLERY 'LA JAULA ABIERTA' (THE CAGE IS OPEN) ADD THEM ON FACEBOOK http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_192668547432632 ! ! ! IF U ARE IN BARCELONA MAKE SURE U CHECK OUT THERE NEXT EXHIBITION. THEY HOSTED A BOMB PARTY AND SECOND HAND GOODS MARKET WITH FREE JAGER & HEINEKEN TO GET THE BLOOD FLOWING ! ! ! THE BAND THAT PLAYED WERE AMAZING 'LOS CUERNOS' (THE HORNS) AND OF COURSE ONCE AGAIN THE PARTY GOT A LITTLE OUT OF CONTROL AND THE POLICE SHOWED UP . . .
