Demonstrations....

Before heading to the US Embassy this morning near the Parlaiment building, I opened an email from the Embassy that read:
"Spontaneous demonstrations take place in Budapest from time to time in response to world events or local developments. We remind American citizens that even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possible escalate into violence. American citizens are therefore urged to avoid the areas of demonstrations if possible, and to exercise caution if within the vicinity of any demonstrations. American citizens should stay current with media coverage of local events and be aware of their surroundings at all times. Upcoming demonstration information follows: On July 4 from 8:00-11:00 The Humanist Movement will protest the planned U.S. missile defense system installation in the Czech Republic. Approximately 50-75 persons may participate. Police will be present. Please note that the Embassy is closed on July 4."

Looks like I'll be getting those voting papers on Monday or Tuesday.
