La huelga

Hola,

Yesterday was the Huelga General, in other words, the laborers strike across Spain.  Although I didn't encounter anything picketing, there apparently were protesters all of Granada and Spain.  I did, however, see "HUELGA GENERAL yo voy!!" signs and stickers all over the city.  I also heard that many store windows were busted in because they opened their shops and that a bunch of picketers attached the Burger King in the middle of the city around lunch time because it was still open.   Supposedly the buses were on a limited schedule and the grocery stores were full of picketers but I didn't notice much out of the ordinary.  Also, there apparently were huge riots in other cities in Spain with picketing and even cars lit on fire.  Pretty crazy. However, most of the shops that did not open during the day opened in the evening, like a half strike.  Besides that it was just class as usual.

Hasta!
