Stuck in Strausborg

Pepe's Morning Outlook:

"Cherie, Je t'amie..La da, la da, ra dum… I want to tell you, I love you so. La da, la da… Do not say it's in vain…"

Here is Linda holding up a used tear-gas cannister that was discharged to break up a riotous crowd down the street from Eric's house. The fights started around 7 am.

Just a mile away there were more violent protest...we could see the smoke from the fires that were started. http://www.denverpost.com/nationworld/ci_12070183

This morning we were awaken by the melodious sounds of NATO helicopters...they sounded if they were about to land on our building.

A small demonstration of about 100 protesters of NATO were just down the street.


These guys looked like they were up to no good.

I had to prove I was there...they shut down all the streets so there was no way out of the neighborhood by car.


The French Police really never had to do anything but show they were there to put an end to anything that might happen. Throughout Strausborg however there were some more violent protest.

Linda showed up a little later...

More on actual pictures from Strausborg shortly...
