Thailand Protesters

In downtown Thailand there are about 80,000 estimated protesters trying to oust the current government. Though we understand after four days of standing around in the heat many protesters are heading home and the crowds are thinning.

The kids and I are at home getting schoolwork done and hanging out and it's very peaceful here. Paul and one of our hosts, Jeff, went downtown for the day. They've enjoyed a ride on the canal and more and they have seen no activity at all and are having a good day seeing some sights.

The protesters are trying to stay peaceful so to up the protest without violence they have decided to draw blood - about one small vial per protester (with clean needles supposedly) - and throw the blood at the gates of government offices and houses. Lovely.

There are also been about eight grenades tossed (though not all worked). Mostly property injury, though two government guards were slightly injured.

With all that going on bet you wish you could be in Thailand too. :o)
