Girona Demo

Who chose the day the clocks went forward to have a demo? An early start and a long walk but a great atmosphere. There was probably about 15,000 people. All ages, all styles and once again the hat was a sensation. People came up expressly to take photos! Now I know how Carla feels!The march ended with speeches climaxing in fire crackers going off all along the nearby bridge presumably to remind the authorities of what could happen if the pylons come our way. There are now rumours that the THT might be built under the sea and it seems that a decision should be delivered at the end of June. There was just time before we caught the bus home to have a cold beer in a café on the ramblas. Then it was out of the demo gear and around to Michel and Joëlle's for a surprise apéritif dinatoire to celebrate Michel's birthday.
ps You really need to click on the fuzzy, oops artistic photo to get the best effect.
